Pro Bowl FS Reggie Nelson Still Available
Yeah, he's up there in age, but he tied with Marcus Peters for most INTs last year and made the Pro Bowl. No sign of slowing down. I suspect that he'd love playing with Eric Berry and Marcus Peters. Hell of a secondary. Time to kick the tires on a proven veteran leader that's still playing at a Pro Bowl level?
Interceptions - 8 Tackles - 52 Assisted Tackles - 25 Combined Tackles - 77 (Karmic twist: He recently said, “I love playing for KC.” when talking about DB coach, Kevin Coyle.) http://www.endzonescore.com/reggie-n...vailable/37087 The Cincinnati Bengals have, shockingly, allowed veteran free safety Reggie Nelson to remain on the free agent market for nearly three weeks now. Considering Nelson is coming off of a career year in which he led the NFL in interceptions, it is even more shocking that a team in need of a safety has not scooped him up. The Bengals made the wise decision to re-sign young strong safety George Iloka very early in the free agent signing period, but 32-year-old Nelson still has a lot left in the tank. The Bengals are definitely deep at defensive back, but Nelson provides a veteran presence that cannot be found just anywhere. He was a defensive captain for the Bengals this past season and was a certified ball hawk in the secondary from start to finish. Several teams have been linked to Nelson, mostly because it is hard not to link a team to a star player who recently made the Pro Bowl, but the Bengals are surely still talking with him. It remains to be seen whether anything substantial will come of those talks, as the Bengals have been engaged in heavy discussions with other free agents this past week. However, they would be foolish to play a game of cat and mouse with Nelson. Not only would it be extremely disrespectful to a player who has worn the Cincy stripes with pride for six seasons now, but it would also be too risky. There is no way that Reggie Nelson will remain unsigned for much longer, so the Bengals must make it a priority to bring him back to Cincinnati as soon as possible.

The raiders offense is gonna be a really good unit. If they can get another rb in yhe draft and another te, it's gonna be interesting to see if carr makes the next jump against good defenses.
If he does, yeah, I think they're right there with the chiefs, maybe better. |

Nah dude, that Superbowl was all Peyton in the sunset, Papa John $ for the NFL, and a tribute to the great "company man" Pat Bowlen. Elway will be quick to betray his buddy Gary when things go south.... and soon.

Carr is being extremely overrated by the media. Jack Del Rio is terrible. They lost the QB of their defense in Charles Woodson. I just don't see them being better than a healthy Chiefs team. |

Carr feasted on bad and average teams and struggled against good defenses. If he takes the next step, theyll be tough. I don't think they're better right now. But mack is an all pro defensive player of the year type guy, with Aldon accross from him and the rest they've added, it's a defense that could be very good as well. |

Their OL is top 5, they have an all-world pass rusher with another added FA. Their secondary got a legit top 10 CB from us and they have as good of a young QB/WR as you can ask for. They are going to absolutely be right there with us and it wouldnt surprise me at all if we split with them this season. |

Smith was an unrestricted free agent, but there wasn’t much of a hurry to sign him since he’s suspended for a year and won’t be eligible for reinstatement until November.

Raiders est. cap space: $17-18M. If they get Nelson at a bargain basement price.... shame on Dorsey for not having a visit scheduled.

Nelson already knows Berry/Parker are the starters in KC. He could start in Oakland and could likely still get "starter money" on a short-term deal. |
