Great to see. Has he picked his game up this year, @RB07OSU or any other Bengals fans who pay close attention?

He's played better at center but had some rough patches leading up to the Tennessee game. Tennessee has one of the weaker defensive fronts in the league but I'm going he keeps progressing. He did play very well this weekend. Billy was what I thought to be a sure thing when we drafted him and it's been surprising to see the poor play up until recently, so fingers crossed that the light came on.

Cincinnati Bengals declining Billy Price's 5th-year option, source says

The Cincinnati Bengals will not pick up the fifth-year option on center Billy Price's rookie deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.

Price now is slated to become a free agent after this season. If the Bengals had picked up his option, Price was set to earn an estimated 2022 base salary of $10.4 million that would have been fully guaranteed, according to OverTheCap.com.

Under terms of the 2020 collective bargaining agreement, the 2022 salaries for players selected in the first round of the 2018 draft become fully guaranteed at the time the options are exercised. In the past, the salary on the fifth-year options was guaranteed for injury only and didn't become fully guaranteed until the first day of the new league year.

Price is the first player drafted in the 2018 first round to have his fifth-year option declined. The deadline for NFL teams to make the decisions on fifth-year options is Monday.

Not surprising but I've gotta admit, I thought Billy was as close to a sure thing as possible when we drafted him. Really surprised he didn't pan out, but here's to hoping if he gets a chance to play this year he makes the most of it.

Have heard from two different, independent sources he hated Jim Turner with white hot intensity. 2019 & 2020 were completely lost years because the Bengals thought it was a good idea to bring in the worst, most despicable OL coach in football. Remember, Turner was the asshat at the center of the Dolphins Incognito/Martin bullying scandal in 2013. Then Kevin Sumlin threw him a life preserver and he promptly went on to Texas A&M and got suspended for filling his slides at a football clinic for women with offensive double-entendres.

Makes complete sense that the Bengals hired him

There are a few posters on another site saying Billy hated his time at tOSU and has told many recruits they would hate it here. One of the claims is he got in Jackson Carman's ear.

Is there any truth to this?

He's an extremely outspoken Cinci-area recruit that loudly snubbed OSU and went to Clemson. He was highly touted, was okay in college and hasn't been great in the NFL. He is now teammates with Billy, another cinci-area reacruit.

Billy was from Warren/Youngstown. I have no inside knowledge about Billy Price’s feelings about OSU, but he was an early commit and spent 4 years.

Maybe he hated Warinner :lol:, that I could see.
