Fingon Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 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. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/home_NFL.aspx Looks like the Bengals could be out of the running for Coles.
Magox Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Coles better accept the offer now, before he get's only $3Million a year
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Well, has anyone heard if Coles might be Minnesota's fallback plan if T.J. falls through for them?
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Coles better accept the offer now, before he get's only $3Million a year Let's just wait until the day before the season starts, and pay him $7.75 an hour.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Well, has anyone heard if Coles might be Minnesota's fallback plan if T.J. falls through for them? 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.
SKOOBY Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Let's just wait until the day before the season starts, and pay him $7.75 an hour. Same as the starting pay for the Bills scouting staff, free turkeys on holidays as well.

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.
lynchneedsfood Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Let's just wait until the day before the season starts, and pay him $7.75 an hour. That sounds about right!
WellDressed Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Ok, ok, $7.75 an hour plus tips... But there has to be a clause in the contract where he must use lotion on his ashy legs.
