Bengals may be interested in Kolb

Add Bengals to list of teams interested in Kevin Kolb. Connect dots: Bengals WR coach is James Urban, who was Eagles QB coach last year.

If "dot connecting" is all he's doing (and it sounds like it is) then I don't know that I'd take this notion too seriously.

If t'were true though, a deal for Kolb might make them more willing to part with Carson Palmer.

I am still confused as to why people want Palmer or for that matter his insane contract. Also what back up do they have besides Palmers little brother and Lefevours? It makes sense to me.

Palmer's trade demand points out that he had 80 million in the bank and doesn't need the money anymore. He just wants to play for a better organization than the Bengals.

They have nothing else right now, but if they got a guy like Kolb or one of the rookies, they might be willing to part with Palmer.

I've been calling Palmer overrated for years, and still think so, but objectively speaking, there's no better, more proven option available this season.

They would be stupid enough for this kinda bullpoo.

Admittedly also one of my first thoughts.

Their new OC is a fella named "Gruden", so getting a guy with some WCO experience would make sense.

(Schefter's "dots" are that the Bengals new WR coach is Kolb's old QB coach)

I would force myself to get high, because that's the only way I could cope with the pain.

Yea because we can afford to be picky since Moore and Clausen seem to know what they're doing and getting the best available QB while drafting one with huge potential wouldn't help us out that much.

    • https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp Going by this chart that won’t get it done, at all.  both of our 5th rounders are worth 56, total.    The 51st is valued at 390. Moving to 41 takes 100 points. In the second where we are, it is basically 10 points per slot. You can get in front of TB for 60 points. Baltimore at 45.  Which who would do that for 56 points? You are on a wing and a prayer.    To realistically have a good shot at these top guys, outside of Golday, it is gonna take at least 100 points, I am thinking.  And when they go, Golday’s market probably gets a lot hotter.  Just going by the rankings/valuations, I am thinking if you realistically want to assure you get your guy it will take trading back in the first. Which is why I have been saying to do that if we can.  For example 19 is valued at 875. 21 is 800. That, plus one of the 5ths gets you to 100 points which you theoretically could use to get to 41.    I think there are going to be several good options for us at 19, if we are good with taking what is left at 21-23 we can get a good player plus fund a trade up for one of these LBs which is what I am thinking makes sense.   
    • Alabama money line is a big one. 
    • I'm just letting everyone know he's on the list in the second tier, not that I think it gets there because Donovan wants the job.  UNC is waiting on Lloyd and Arizona's run to end, if that doesn't work out then Donovan is likely the new head coach.
