Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

[TD alt]

There is really no excuse for the Bengals to be attempting to execute a rookie contract in this manner. None!

This is not about Stewart fuging up, it's about the Bengals fuged up way of doing business.

No. We showed no interest in him for the draft. Why now after grabbing 2 edge that we did show interest in?

Damn! Goose was 6'3" and 340 pounds! Big man needs 2 coach seats!

When Tony played coach seats weren't designed for Calista Flockhart.

This might get really interesting. Evidently he's back at TAMU working out with the team and might just try to play college ball again this year. Wild.

If he could win the ability to play college ball again after entering the draft it's gonna turn the draft upside down. Basically anyone who doesn't like their draft position or landing spot or whatever could basically just say screw that and go back to college again, cash another NIL check and try again next year.

I can't speak to whatever underlying issues there may be with Shemar off the field so to speak. But in terms of the responsibility of the franchise. The Bengals had ample opportunity to study interview assess and identify the draft prospects they were interested in. They made the choice to draft Stewart. They should face a steep punishment for allowing this to play out the way it did because they got buyers remorse. The league should make an example out of them and deservedly so.

Unless he has an incredible double digit type season he has effectively tanked his draft stock and shot himself in the foot

Pretty much. His draft status revolved entirely around his measurables and athletic potential. Another year of trash college production would pour a lot of cold water on that.

Reporters already came out and said he is not working out with the team at his college. He is just working out at the facilities there in preparation for his rookie season.

This is entirely incorrect, while he could sue the NCAA and get to play again, if he plays a single snap of football in UFL or NCAA his rights are retained by the Bengals next year, he has to sit out the entire year for him to be able to re-enter the draft a la like Michael Crabtree almost did vs the 49ers his rookie year.

It would be wild if he is allowed to go back to college but is still a Bengal when he returns to the NFL

3rd and Chandler Zavala.......... Id toss in Yohsi or Brano/DJ Johnson if that's what it took to get the trade done. 

 

Bungals need OL B-A-D

 

Its un-godly to treat a unique HOF level level like Burrow with the OL they have and seems going to this year.

People forgot during that bungal SB year, Burrow was sacked like 62 times and I believe had the highest hurries as well. They should be in jail for this, no memeing....

I'd rather see what Scourton and Princely can be that bring on cheap contracts than bring in another rookie edge rusher who would need 1st round money.
