who will be this years reclamation project?

[icehole3]

Burfict last year, I can see them fixing LB Rolando McClain this year. Anyone wanna make a prediction? It's just a harmless prediction, no need to hyperventilate.

Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie said the team didn't cut LB Rolando McClain during the season solely due to salary cap reasons.
Oakland would have taken a cap hit to release McClain during the year, but now that he doesn't have any more guaranteed money on his deal, McClain is fully expected to get the ax this offseason. His latest arrest and overall character will certainly affect his free-agent market.

It's Brandon Joiner. Everyone already knows that. Guy went to prison.. granted, it was due to a crime in 2006 when he was 18 and the Bengals knew before they acquired his rights he was going to prison, but still. That'll be the story.

[Bull Durham]

Aaron Curry.

Possibly Te'o now?

Tyrann Mathieu could be the guy as well.

[Cardiackat]

Aaron Curry I say.

I would be ok if it was the Honey Badger.
Preferably an UDFA.

The Honey Possum just doesn't have the speed for the NFL.

Great nose for the ball and great college player, but Kiwan Ratliff was another SEC Defensive Player of the Year who made a bunch of big plays in college, but couldn't cut it in the NFL because he lacked speed.

I'm hoping one day we get over the reclamation project fetish. But I wouldn't be surprised if we haven't yet. Off the top of my head I can't think of any free agents that fit our needs with shaky backgrounds. Hopefully if we take a risk in the draft it comes with our late picks. That's all I ask anymore when it comes to our reclamation projects.

Hear ya.
But you know there will be one.

[UCMehayward]

It will be Brandon Ghee. I see him having a OUTSTANDING year. He always seems to shine in the preseason. But I say he stays healthy this year and balls out

[thebigcat454545]

No to Rolando!! I'd like to see Curry or the DB from LSU that was suspended this year. Guys got major talent.

Every tem is always looking for guys who need a "second chance". Just see the Patriots signings of Haynesworth and Ochocinco.

The key is to not waste a high draft pick or guaranteed bonus money on one.

McClain is just not ready to grow up. His latest incident involved him signing a ticket from a police officer with the name "F@#k You", and then insisting that was his name. It turned a simple ticket into a "False Identinty" charge.

How about the Bengals stop with the reclamation projects before they start burning them?

Glad they didn't decide to do this before Burfict...



As to the OP: Ray Ray Armstrong.

marvin lewis lol

Ryan Leaf.

Top 5 predictions.

5. Manti Te'o (He could help Mike Brown fabricate a GM to keep us fans happy. I'm sure he knows someone that could run a twitter account for this "GM".)
4. Timmy Tebow (Victim of a hoax himself. He was drafted in the first round, and won a heisman! Someone needs to tell Timmy that he is not a QB. (I admit I stole this joke.))
3. Jovan Belcher (Only problem is that he plays a little stiff. Too soon? In all seriousness though, best wishes to his daughter that tragically is left without parents.)
2. Lennay Kukua (Coverage Skills = Maualuga's and has been said to disappear in games (sound familiar?). Basically a cheaper Maualuga. Still, Stanford is a pretty good program.)
1. Brandon Weeden (Him and Mike Brown could talk about the good times. Why settle for one ginger when you can have two?)

PS: I know, I should keep my day job.

Yup, it is kind of like buying a $1 lottery ticket (with only 100 available) that gives you a chance to win a new Cadillac.

He shoulda signed it Jack MeHoff. The officer wouldn't have noticed.
