udonkey Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Cincinnati Enquirer is reporting that Bengals OG Eric Steinbach will most likely be a goner at the end of the season, as the Bengals probably won't want to pay him. Now, I'm certainly not trying to get ahead of ourselves here, but if our line underperforms AGAIN, this would be a decent prospect. http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art.../307310076/1066
Fixxxer Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Can we rent his services this year with a buying option for next year?

I thought Steinbach was the can't-miss Guard that we should have drafted instead of McGahee. If he is so wonderful, why would the Bengals already be thinking they will not re-sign him? Or is this just speculation on his absurd FA contract demands?

B'gals have to be concerned with money - they just re-signed Levi Jones, and they have Willie Anderson and Rich Braham to consider.

Funny, is this the downside of having an OL made up of high draft choices?

"CHA-CHING: Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer is the fifth highest-paid athlete in the United States, according to rankings on SI.com. Palmer earns $30,750,000 in salary and winnings and another $800,000 in endorsements. His salary will drop next season. The first four are golfers Tiger Woods ($97.6 million) and Phil Mickelson ($46 million) and basketball's Shaquille O'Neal ($34 million) and Kobe Bryant ($33.7 million).
