On the one hand it's another camp body. On the other Horton's and Doughty's already tenuous roster positions are slipping further away

Why would both Doughty and Horton be on the bubble? I can see Horton being on the bubble, but Doughty has been an okay backup SS and a good special teams player. If we let both of them go who would be our primary backup SS?

Well technically Doughty is a FA I believe. Not saying both are gone, just that neither's roster spot is safe

Colts sign Nate Davis

For one thing Doughty is a free agent, if they think they can sign a better FA then he's gone.

Doughty and Horton are good back ups. I don't get the hate for those guys, esp Doughty. I guess ppl are still on his a$$ about that TD he gave up in the Houston game.

Their limited physical gifts means that there's always a good chance someone might replace them, even though they are nice stories and likable guys.

I guess ppl are happy with players who contribute to .500 or less record year after year.

Sounds like Carson Palmer is indeed retiring.

Yeah Mike Brown was like (to paraphrase) "If he doesn't want to be here, we don't want him here"

Dumb. Seems like they could have at least gotten a couple of a mid rounders for him.

Yup. And that's why the Bengals are and always will be the Bengals as long as Mike Brown is alive.

Only if they were starters, but they are not. If they get signed by the team or let go is not a big deal. I just don't get why ppl expect backups to play like starters.
