A Starting Safety Has Hit The Market - Bengals Releasing S George Iloka

[XOBlackxJokerOX]

I don't know why the hell we pursued Searcy when I would have gladly taken Tre Boston back after the fiasco that was last season. He may be a liability on the run but he was decent to good in coverage and recognition. The tackling could've been fixed. When we cut him I was all for it but the grass isn't greener on the other side it seems. It's patchy with a few bright spots every now and then.

The problem I always had with Boston was effort.  He was all out on 1 play then on the next it was like he was not even interested. I would rather have a guy that was less talented and gave consistent effort, than a guy like Boston, who you are not sure what you are going to get from him on play to play.  His tackling was actually ok, when he wanted to tackle.  And with as many young guys on this team in the secondary as you have now, that is not the message you want to send to them.

My sources telling me he's going to the Vikings.

Your sources? Were you listening to the radio? Or watching TV? We must have the same sources.

bring him home

Obviously he isn't a starting safety. He is a cut safety.

He is signing with the Vikes.

His source was twitter. It was announced about 3 hours ago.

Would've loved to have had him but given our dire circumstances at OT, I think we have to keep whatever cap space we have available to give us flexibility to make a move there if the opportunity presents itself.

[Mr. Scot]

Hadn't even thought about the connection with Zimmer from his Bengal days, but yeah that makes sense.

[TheSpecialJuan]

good 

[Camp Fodder]

So a team already loaded on D signs him.  But hey we have Colin Jones

[PanicPete]

We currently have half an oline and 0 depth, but yes lets spend the little money we have by rigging up some kind of ridiculous contract for a safety. Yall should chill

[Panthro]

$800k... That's it

[LinvilleGorge]

$890k with only $90k guaranteed.

Damn. We should've been willing to do that, but he may still have gone to Minnesota to play for his old DC.

[Moo Daeng]

Playing for his former coach is why the numbers are what they are.
