According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Bengals worked out former Giants wideoutHakeem Nicks today.

Nicks caught seven passes in his six-game reunion with the Giants last year, after his disappointing 2014 stint with the Colts.

In fact, it’s been a really long time since the 28-year-old former first-rounder has really done anything to help a team.

 

Thanks a LOT, Nippleshorts!

lol I dont get why every one wants another wr. yes I get this thread is sarcasim, but I am talking in general.  with KB coming back, theres not going to be enough passes to go around.  its bad enough that funchess might not get enough to progress this season.

The motley crew of receivers dropping passes in the Super Bowl is still on people's minds. I think WR should be pretty low on our list of priorities, but I understand wanting a true sure-handed receiver added. Philly's the surest handed of our top 4 right now which is less than ideal. And in theory, we should be adding competition and trying to improve every single position.

You can never have too many good WR's

I agree.  Cotchery out Benji in.

KB, Ginn, Funch, Philly, Bersin/Hill/Byrd

add Olsen, Dickson and Tolbert out of the backfield and I don't see where another WR fits in?  

We gonna throw the ball 50-60 times a game like Indy or NE?

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
