Interesting.

You think maybe the Bengals contract will be more clever than giving him $3 million up front?

[billsbackto81]

If playing with Josh couldn't get him going and motivated don't know what Burrow can do.

 

No hate on Burrow, maybe their TE depth is seriously lacking.

So, if he signs with the Bengals, does that affect the Bill's cap hit?

“Clever” isn’t the word I use to describe bengals contracts but they are definitely not giving him a lot of money.

I guess the Bengals Offense must be overly simple to figure out..or according to some Bengals Fans the Te position group is their worst. Sounds like they have  some injury issues as well.

 

Howard seems to be making out ok financially throughout all this.

Interesting to see what his contributions to the Bengals this season will be compared to Sweeney/Morris for the Bills.

Doubt the Bengals pay him more than vet minimum.  Anything more than that and Bengals are simply paying the Bills instead of Howard.

This is a big find for the Bengals,  there he was just sitting on the waiver wire... so they pounced in there.. 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Sounds like the Bengals being petty because we claimed Chrisman.

Nope he got paid to be in Bills training campand nothing can change that.

and he'll make more getting paid somewhere else

Almost certain I heard on WGR yesterday that based off contract structure if he was picked up by another team we would get cap relief from his hit- may e I misheard?

I heard this, too. I think Sal said it, but not 100%.

how bad must have howard been for the bills to cut him?  besides he ability, was it an attitude or work ethic issue?

Ability shown throughout camp and preseason wasn’t going to get him on the field on offense and he doesn’t play ST as a depth guy, so gots to go. Essentially he got beat out for TE2 by Quintin Morris. Sweeney can play ST and Josh likes him so he gets to stay as the depth TE.
