I predict that the Bengals:

[THE PISTONS]

Place predictions here for free agency, the draft, and anything else you want in the upcoming offseason.

[THE PISTONS]

I'll start. I predict that the Bengals sign Mike Wallace.

I also predict that the Bengals sign a veteran that gets released like Troy Polamalu.

[SunsetBengal]

I predict that the Bengals will re-sign most of their quality FAs, make a couple of medium scale signing from outside, and follow up with another quality draft.

Pretty much the same as most years.

[-CR-]

I predict that we will not make as big a spash in free agency as our potential will allow.

I predict that our first 3 picks in the draft will be offense.

I predict a second place finish in the AFC North for 2013.

[fredtoast]

I predict....

We will have a new starter at every single LB position from what we had at the end of the year.

The highest paid free agent we sign will be a WR (For some reason that is a position Mike is willing to pay big money.)

We draft a RB in the first three rounds.

[bcolby20]

I think we take a RB high or honestly take a good hard look at Chris Johnson if he gets released. He played behind an absolute horrid oline in tennessee. i think he could honestly do wonders behind our line. if green-ellis can bust off 30 yarders before getting touched, chris johnson can run those to the house every single time.

i also predict that our top 3-4 picks easily go to offense, we all know it needs to.

also, i believe we will bring in a veteran WR through free agency if we don't happen to want to spend that many top picks in a row on offense. i'm not sure which one i think we may bring in, but i think it's something that needs to be seriously looked at.

[gardner30]

I predict the Bengals will have a new RT this year.

I predict that the biggest FAs they sign will be a LBer and a S.

I predict that the 1st 4 draft picks, not in any order, will go on the following positions T, RB, CB, LB.

I predict that Frostee Rucker will be back with the team.

[Sideline Tweeting 101]

I predict the following:

By the end of the 2013 season Andy Dalton (63% 32-16 3900+) will get more praise than criticism

The Bengals will lead the AFC North in rushing

The defense will double their INT numbers from 2012

FA will consist of signing MJ, Andre, and extending Geno but nothing else besides filling the roster

2 RB's will be drafted, one with pick 2A and one late

The Bengals will have 11 wins

[Shake n Blake]

- Andre Smith will be on the verge of signing elsewhere, but we will end up keeping him.

- We will tag MJ after his agent demands elite money.

- We will draft a WR in round 1.

- Our LBs will be Howard at WLB, Burfict at MLB and Maybin/rookie at SLB.

- We take a safety and a RB in rounds 2-3.

- We will lock up Geno before the season starts.

[fredtoast]

I predict that the Bengals will do something during the free agency period that will make Neek's head explode.

[UCMehayward]

We will not Draft nor Sign a WR in FA. They will let Sanu and Jones develope

We will tag MJ and Andre will get low balled till someone else acts like they want him then we will give him a decent contract.

Geno will get extended RIGHT after FA

Dalton will have a monster year. Year 3 is the key

With Hue being the asistant coach, Marvin lewis will magically learn how to manage a **** game!

We win the Division

Burfict is up for Defensive player of the year.

[FuZZ]

We pick up Michael Vick in FA.

Andy Dalton gets traded to Oakland for 3 1st round picks.

Rey Maualuga is resigned and carries the team all the way to the SB with 18 ints, 42 sacks, and 12 fumble recoveries.

Oh, and we bring back Daniel Coats.

[jdmac4]

#1- Will use the franchise tag on Andre Smith and will work towards getting him a long term deal as the year progresses.

#2- Our 3 picks will include a linebacker, a safety and a running back.

#3- Will loose MJ to free agency as he scores a huge contract with another team that he does not wind up living up to

#4- We will sign a free agent wide receiver, but he will not be a top tier free agent

#5- Rey Mauluga is not resigned, he goes to Oakland as a free agent to take McClain's spot

#6- Wharton comes back from injury and competes with Boiling for a starting Gaurd, Boiling winds up winning.

#7- Robinson beats out Cook in camp for the starting Center position

bonus for the board

-Some one will google the image below and experience extreme emotional trauma which will take years of counselling to recover from.

[Cincy's Best]

What we want or what we predict the Bengals to do?

What I want:

We sign Aaron Curry to a 1 year contract. Smith signs a big pay contract to another team and the fans go crazy at him leaving. The Bengals sign Jake Long to replace him and he transitions over to RT flawlessly, Smith shows up to TC at his new team overweight and bust completely, while Long dominates the right side all year long making the fans forget about losing Smith. We resign all other FAs on our team.

We draft in order:
Chance Warmack
Barrett Jones
Matt Elam
Marcus Lattimore (who comes in healthy and plays at a high level)
Jamie Collins
Christine Michael (who also plays at a high level)
Michael Williams
Caleb Sturgis

We go into TC and the light clicks on for Curry and Maybin. Curry shows great cover skills and is able to play the MIKE position. Our opening day LBers are SAM Maybin, MIKE Curry, WILL Burfict. Our opening day OLine is Whitworth, Warmack, Jones, Zeitler, Long. Since the focus of opposing teams will stay on Green, Lattimore and Michael, behind this all star line, both open the season with monster games making fans rejoice that we now have RBs that improves our team.

What I predict the Bengals to do:

Resign all of our players, Smith included, Curry is still possible to sign. Smith does continues to play well much to my relief.

The Draft goes:
LBer: Manti Te'o, Kevin Minter or Alec Ogletree (more than likely Ogletree)
RB: Giovanni Bernard or Eddie Lacy (more than likely Lacy)
S: Elam, Rambo or McDonald
Whoever falls for the rest: Collins, Hodges, Greene. Maybe a back up QB or OLine. If he is still there in the later rounds, Lattimore and Michael are still an options.

We go into TC and Curry and Maybin earn spots on the team, with Curry being a substitute player like Collins. Our opening day LBers are SAM Maybin, MIKE Burfict, WILL Ogletree. Our OLine starting OLine will be Whitworth, Boling, Cook, Zeitler, Smith. We start Lacy at RB and teams still keying up on Green will still allow them to stop our running game and we struggle but still win games, however we as fans will be holding our breath all year long.

Either way we win the division next year and win 2 playoff games.

Or something not in FA that makes his head explode.

Closer to the truth if it weren't for the new bargaining agreement, now we HAVE to spend.

[Go Cards]

We will re-sign all our FA's except Maualuga..

Sign some sort of big name FA. Probably WR.

Defensive players will be taken with first two picks in draft. SS Elam and LB Minter.

We draft RB Joseph Randle with the second of our 2nd round pick in draft.

We do draft a back up QB. But not sure who.

And another OL in JC Tretter in 3rd or 4th.
.................................................. .................................................. .............................

Bengals win not 1, but 2 playoff games this season.

Bengals take it to the "House" and win SB in one of the the next three years.

[Anderson_fan1988]

We will resign ALL of our own guys...except Rey.

In FA we will go after a Safety and/or WR. More than likely a Safety.

In the Draft I say we take a LB in the first round, then focus on Offense the next couple picks. RB, WR, OL, S, DE, and CB will be there focus after taking the LB.

[Lawless_1]

I predict Chris Canty will be signed to replace Pat Sims.

Here are some of my predictions for 2013. I predict WE WILL BE IN THE PLAYOFFS.I predict that Hue Jackson will have a bigger impact on the offense than Jay Gruden.I predict that if Mike Brown makes a change after this up-coming season on the head coach, it will be Hue Jackson, with Marvin moving upstairs if he wants it.I predict that our staff along with the scouts will have another super draft and we will get well with weaknesses we have, like a running back, saftey, linebacker, and ect.I predict we win at least 6 of our home games and at least 4 on the road.I predict we will have a 1400 hundred yard running back and score an average of 28 points per game.We now have an excellent coaching staff that can keep marvin from blowing it all the time as Hue will be giving marvin assistance on plays and running the team during the game, which will help us tremendously.I am just stoked about this 2013 season.Oh yes, I almost forgot.I predict Andy Dalton will be so much better or not be playing under Hue as he will be challenged by Hue ALOT.By end of training camp our staff will know if we have the man at the helm or not.I say Andy will rise to the challenge as he is a ferice fighting type of player.Go Red Rifle!!!!

Hey Ucmchayward, i like all you posted on here. would love for all this to happen and it could. Keep it up.

I predict that Hue Jackson will have a ton to say about what running back they take and it could very well be two.I predict he will get twice as much from this offense in 2013 and we become a pounding the rock first kinda team, which will so protect andy and allow him to sling it downfield when he wants to. I predict they will beef up our O-line big time with a top lineman signing or if healthy, putting wharton back in somewhere.I predict the # 2 receiver,whoever it turns out to be will have a big-time year and AJ will be a pro-blower again.I predict 6 wins at home and at least 4 on the road.PLAYOFFS AGAIN WITH A SERIOUS RUN TO THE SUPERBOWL.THIS TEAM IS GOING TO BE VERY VERY GOOD.WE WILL HAVE ALL OUR TOP PLAYERS THAT WAS INJURED BACK AND THAT IS A REALLY GOOD THING.

I would like to see chris johnson come here, but we will want too much green.He got a hugh payday a year ago when he held out and I don't see mike brown bringing him here. Mike and company kinda likes picking their own running back.The law firm was an exception because of how he operates and the type of guy he is.I see us getting either Mike Gillisbee,Franklin, Christine Micheal or maybe Bernard.Lattimore would be good here, except for his injuries will keep him out of here.I would also like to see A safetyi like Elam,Reid, orVaccaco,Mcdonald.Linebacker Minter,Chase thomas or Collins who i really like.A D-lineman would be Okafer who is a great pass-rusher.Warmack for the O-line.
