Levi Jones released by the Bengals

[The Goat]

Well this is funny cuz i just posted today on the Bridges thread saying how surprising it is Levi hadn't been cut...

We need to sign him IMO, period. I know it will cost a pretty penny...probably take a good chunk of our cap space left on the year. Right now our RT prospects are mediocre (Jansen/Heyer) to longshot (Bridges/Williams). It's another recipe for disaster along the o-line position. Maybe most importantly we don't have anyone near talented enough to fill the void at LT if Samuels still struggles w/ injury. If the FO is serious about giving JC and the offense an opportunity to be great this year Levi Jones is the man...everything else is sort of half-assing it.

Great point, and one of our biggest worries. If Samuels goes down it is going to be a rough year, and he probably will, so if LJ is able to act as a backup that way, it is worth the extra cash to get him in, assuming he passes his physical LOL

I completely agree with The Goat. Even if it eats some of our $5 mil or $8 mil. cap space, whichever it is, this is the time to break out the checkbook.
