Those should be our big priority even before the season is over.

If Rey plays the rest of the season like this last game, he needs to stay. Wow! I am shocked I said that, but he looked good yesterday.

The entire D looked good yesterday.
I wonder if the return of Pat Sims made that much of a difference? If it did, then resign Sims.

In Geno we trust! Dudes a beast pay the man, heck let him have the crewe tower as his house. Man deserves it all!

MJ and Dunlap haven't earned long term deals as of yet. Dunlap is too inconsistent in play and health. And MJ is just Geathers a few years ago right now.

No excuse not to re-sign him. This is what we've been saving all that money for right? And lock him up before the end of the season.

Might not be able to under new CBA rules. I think you have to wait for a certain amount of years.

I believe we rolled some cap space into next season so that could absorb a signing bonus easily if we have to.

I honestly believe him and AJ will get paid and here is why. Geno and AJ will be the two guys that the Bengals can market to a national audience. The only thing Mike Brown has shown a willingness to spend money on in FA is WR. As for Atkins he should be one of the best players in the NFL and I doubt they let him get since the Bengals don't come across those very often. I actually feel pretty good about both staying in stripes past their rookie contracts.

How is this even a question? They locked up Peko with 2 years left on his contract, and overpaid at that. Geno should stay in stripes for a long time.

It's fun agreein' with you... still hate your sig.

Dunlap has some questions, but I would have no problem giving MJ a long term deal. He's shown flashes and has been pretty durable. Looking at what it would cost to replace him, you could justify it.

I would just give him Geathers' money when he leaves and he should be happy.

I wouldn't hate giving him that much.
Just not much more for one or two games of great play and 14 of meh play

Does better when the other side of the DL shows up

Imagine how much more disruptive he would be with a solid rotation and not taking 82% of the snaps.

Well everyone showed up yesterday except him.
He has been disruptive a few times this year. Not "pretty disruptive."
Without the Washington game he has been a painfully average NFL DE.

You guys do realize that the reason behind drafting Still and Thomoson last year was because of this. Geno Atkins will be gone after next season. Mike Brown knows his priorities will be extending Dalton and Green. Mike Brown has always went out of his way to get his offense set for the future, but for the defense next guy in. Jonathan Joseph, Justin Smith, Ahmad Brooks, Takeo Spikes, etc. Brown will just low ball him and Geno will walk. 1 year later Geno will be interviewed and will say how poorly and pathetically ran the Bengals organization is.

You rang?
Welcome back Pat Sims, and the best defensive performance of the year. Now Geno can pin back his ears and chase after the passer.

Hmm that tune changed quickly.
How does Sims being back change anything for Geno?
It doesn't.

[gardner30]

The highest paid DT in 2013 and 2014 is Suh working on his rookie deal, 11.5 mil.

Geno should top that in a few years of his new deal.

My tune has not changed. Now we can play run defense.

Actually as it has been said many times we made pretty much the same offer the Texans did. He left because at that point we had no QB and it looked as if we were heading the wrong way.He was entitled to his choice, but it wasn't all about the money there.
