Bengals lock up Big Willie for 5 more years

[Bengal Mania]

see bengals.com or any sports update if you want an update.

 

With RT Willie Anderson now locked up until 2011 (when he'll retire at 36 yrs old), the Bengals have all of the followng players from their offense locked up for the NEXT SEVERAL YEARS at least (not sure of year for each):

 

QB Carson Palmer

RB Rudi Johnson

FB Jeremi Johnson

WR Chad Johnson

WR TJ Housyumama

LT Levi Jones

RG Bobbie Williams

RT Willie Anderson.

 

that means only 3 player on offense are not locked up long term:

LG Eric Steinbach - was a STEAL in the draft a few years ago, but he's gone after this year. His replacement, Wittworth, was drafted this year.

C Rich Braham - has been way underrated, but may retire (he's 35 or 36) and replacement is already on the team.

TE,.....um,......what's his name?.......Do the Bengals even use a TE?

 

That's right, folks, the "New" Indianapolis Colts (who were the "New" St. Louis Rams, etc) have their skill players, AND 3/5 of one the the league's best OL's locked up for a long time. Starting next year, Carson Palmer is the best QB in FFL and in NFL.

 

I admit I'm a little worried about Willie's age for a contract like this, but the Bengals have never had a better spokesman. He showed class and desire thru all the horrible years, something talented players like Dillon and Pickens never did. I think the Bengals have a good "window" at a Superbowl title in the next couple years, and I bet many will be happier for Willie than for anyone else if they can win one.

That's nice. Willie IS amazing.

 

But I'm thinking you should rename your team....

 

Something like.....Carson Cincy and the Johnsons?

 

(Since you've got Doug and Landon too....lol.)
