I know they are going to have streaming video on the site. I would assume someone like espnnews would carry part of it.

Bengals talk with Griese's agent

BY MARK CURNUTTE | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER

<!--ARTICLE BODY TEXT-->The Bengals talked Monday to Brian Griese's agent, and Ralph Cindrich said he and the Bengals will talk contract again today.

Cindrich also is talking with the Chicago Bears about the veteran quarterback.

The club did not hammer out the final details of its agreement on a two-year contract with wide receiver Antonio Chatman, who caught 49 passes for the Packers last season.

Also, various reports suggest that former Redskins linebacker LaVar Arrington is talking seriously with the Bengals and coach Marvin Lewis about a free-agent contract.

Efforts to confirm the reports through agents Carl and Kevin Poston's and Arrington's publicist Monday were not successful.

Yet opposing QB's gave up 31 INT's to the Bengals for the year.....Their D does need a rusher that can get more than 6 measly sacks, though, (*cough Justin Smith cough underachiever cough*) maybe Pollack can do it next year?

I'm hoping for exactly that, or else a good draft pick or FA signing. As for the interceptions, give our guys credit for keeping their eyes open and breaking well on the ball. But also keep in mind that 15 of those happened in 3 games against (inferior) NFC competition (Vikings, Packers, Bears).

Heh, I knew someone was going to bring that up, but they still had 16 "normal" INT's other than those. I was at the Vikings and Packers games, they were laughable.

Safety first during the re-hab.

The much more intriguing issue to me is which backup QB do the Bengals pull the trigger on?

We have not heard much more on their flirtation with Griese this week. Are there actually other contenders on the market that might fill the void till Palmer is 100%?

The recent article from bengals.com does mention Harrington as an alternative interest from Griese, but I'm not sold. Wasn't one of the problems with Harrington the fact that there would be the 9 Million existing contract?

My gut says they won't match the offers that Griese will get, and that Harrington will be considered "overpriced". I still think we will ultimately settle on Jamie Martin.

This is what I don't understand... We've just signed doug johnson and we've also got krenzel on the roster, but now the bengals are using all their time and energy on finding another qb. If they didn't think johnson or krenzel could handle the job w/ palmer being down, then why in the hell did they sign them? We've got more pressing needs on the defensive side of the ball that needs taken care of and do we really need another qb if they are so sure that palmer is going to be back for the opener, like they are claiming?....

Doug Johnson is nobody. He is training camp fodder. Palmer won't play much if at all in preseason so you need some warm bodies in there. Johnson is battling for #3, not #2.

Harrington will be cut and his contract will be $0. He is throwing a hissy fit during the Lions "QB School" and is refusing to learn anything. He was reported to say "just cut me now" or something to that extent. He is due a $4+ million roster bonus in June, so the Lions will definately cut him. I doubt anyone trades for him due to his contract.

It's really getting me. Why they need another QB I dont know.. especially now that Griese has signed to the Bears.

We picked up Doug Johnson early, and we have Krenzel.... also Palmer is 4 weeks ahead of schedule with Rehab so I really dont see the point in a 4th QB at this juncture.
