Good for Stanley. I hope he makes the team
The Saints have agreed to terms with WR Stanley Morgan Jr. — former Bengals backup/special teamer who is from New Orleans and prepped at St. Aug.
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) March 15, 2024
Undrafted in 2019. 6-0, 205. Will compete for a depth spot.

I’ve become a tad jaded too this FA

Somehow, the Chiefs managed to sign Chris Jones, keep Sneed, and add Hollywood Brown. They lose their all-pro punter and pick up the Punt God. Even the three teams in the AFCN, supposedly in cap hell, at least relative to the Bengals, all made some splash signings. I'm beginning to think the salary cap is just a state of mind.
Their reckoning is coming. I swear it!

Trade: Steelers are sending QB Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles in a pick swap, sources tell ESPN.

Once Pittsburgh signed Russell Wilson, Pickett preferred to move on. pic.twitter.com/cvsAP2e8lB
The Steelers missing on their 1st post-Big Ben QB is pretty satisfying.

We also dont tend to have to Drop talent due to bad contracts or being over the cap

Silly move by Pickett. Much likelier path to reclaim the starting gig in Pitt than eagle. It must take an injury to hurts… while Russel could play himself onto the bench.
RE: ***NFL Free Agency News & Signings Thread*** - Yogo - 03-15-2024
Smart by PITT. Picket is an overdrafted QB from a cruddy QB class year. PITT knows Bo nix, JJ McCarthy, Penix will be available in 2nd Round..... all better than Picket. This is a really good draft class.
RE: ***NFL Free Agency News & Signings Thread*** - Synric - 03-15-2024
Damn Squeelers and their stupid faces. They swap pick #120 for the Eagles #98 which like the Bengals pick #97 is perfect for moving up in the 1st round teens. I'm gonna say it again they are already looking to jump the Bengals for an Offensive Tackle.
Trade terms, per sources:

?Steelers get pick No. 98 and two 2025 7th-round picks.
?Eagles get QB Kenny Pickett and No. 120.
It’s a similar value to Washington got for Sam Howell. https://t.co/s6vhKIrZyR

I think McCarthy is gone in round 1. Penix and Nis should be available in round 2 though.

They'll still be 9-8 at worse. They just need to squeeze 1 more win out of the season and they are in the playoffs.

Are yall serious? Wishful thinking. I'll believe they will have a losing record when I see it. I've aged nearly 2 decades and haven't saw one.

Supposedly Seattle is in love with Penix I think he goes to them in round 1.

Crazy how many people year after year think the Steelers will be some terrible team.
It literally doesn’t matter how bad their roster is, they will ALWAYS finish .500 at worst

The Chiefs had the #2 scoring defense in the NFL. They made it to the Super Bowl by beating the #1 scoring defense in the NFL. In the Super Bowl they beat the #3 NFL scoring defense. Of the final 4 teams left in the playoffs last year, only Detroit did not have a top tier defense and obviously they are trying to get there by taking guys like Reader from the Bengals while the Bengals downgrade to Tart.
You are not stopping Lamar without a good defense. You are not stopping Mahomes without a good defense. The Bengals dont have anyone on defense like a Chris Jones or L'jarius Sneed. That is where the Bengals need to be talent wise.

I like most of the signings. Ideally we should be keeping the good talent we already had like Reader and then adding to that talent by adding guys like Rankins. Instead we improve in one area by adding Rankins but then take a step back by losing Reader and replacing him with lesser talent. The rumor is Tart. We should be much improved at the safety position by adding Geno Stone and Vonn Bell although at the CB position we have not replaced Awuzie. The only signing I dont like so far is Becton. Bengals fans have complained about the poor offensive line play for years and yet we bring in one of the worst pass protecting Right Tackles out there.
