Bengals lead in the race for Housh

An NFL front office executive tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press that the Bengals have "jumped ahead" of Minnesota in the bidding for T.J. Houshmandzadeh.

Meanwhile, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting that Houshmandzadeh is still expected to pick a team by Monday. Housh and the Vikes haggled in talks all day Sunday, but it seems as if Minnesota's offer came up short.

Looks like the Bengals could be out of the running for Coles.

If so, it would be a completely new development. The only teams that have been connected to Coles so far are the Jets, Dolphins, Bills, Bengals and Browns.

Yeah, but wouldnt you think that if Cinci signed him, then Minny and Seattle might just turn their attention to him?

Im sure he is waiting to see how the Housh thing works out and then waits for more calls.

That very well could be, but it could also be true that those teams just don't like Coles, for one of the many reasons that have been pointed out here over the last couple of days. Teams that are looking at Houshmanzadeh are looking for a #1 reciever. Its possible those teams don't envision Coles in that role, and that could be why they haven't been connected to him at all. Thats pretty much the explanation we got of why Miami isn't interested.
