Cincinnati fans won’t lose any sleep knowing that wide receiver Tab Perry won’t be back this season.
Last year, Perry was expected to emerge as the No. 3 receiver while Chris Henry served his eight-game suspension.
That didn’t work as Perry spent most his career with the Bengals trying to recover from injuries.
Even when healthy, Perry and quarterback Carson Palmer were not on the same page at all.
Perry was a great kick returner for Cincinnati his rookie season in 2005, but the team opted not to tender its restricted free agent and now he is gone.
Jets could keep Robertson
According to the Newark Star-Ledger, the New York Jets might keep defensive lineman Dewayne Robertson. The team would like Robertson to move from tacke to end, but he “would have to rework his contract.” Robertson is due to make $9.8 million this year and is owed a $3 million roster bonus in June.
Due to the team’s spending spree this free-agency period, it is hard to believe that Jets would keep Robertson.
According to a number of sources, the Denver Broncos are in talks with the Jets in regards to a trade for Robertson. Other sources are saying that the Jets are getting pretty desperate. Rich Cimini of the NY Daily News wrote, “GM Mike Tannenbaum must feel like he’s trying to peddle a knock-off Rolex to street-corner salesmen. It’s hard to hustle hustlers.”
The Jets also signed tight end Bubba Franks to a one-year deal after Ben Utecht signed an offer sheet with Cincinnati.
Bengals are close to signing another linebacker
According to Bengals.com, the team is close to signing Arizona Cardinals linebacker Brandon Johnson.
Johnson didn’t receive any playing time in Arizona. He did wear No. 59, which is the same jersey that was worn by former Bengals linebacker Landon Johnson.
Utecht’s contract
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer the offer sheet that Ben Utecht signed with the Cincinnati Bengals was worth $9 million for three seasons.
The price tag seems a little bit high, but give credit to the Bengals for going out and doing what it takes to sign him.
I doubt the Colts can afford to give Utecht $3 million a season.
