The Cincinnati Bengals opened their first voluntary OTA (organized team activitiy) today. The first of twelve the team will host this season. There were two pretty big names that didn't show up. TJ Houshmandzadeh and Chad Johnson both decided to skip out. Let's take a quick look at both.

This is an absolutely surreal experience. I am numb right now. I'm not sure what to do - jump up and down or cry - I'm just so excited about being a Cincinnati Bengal. Coach Marvin Lewis made the call. When my phone rang it was an unknown number and I had some friends calling before that so I   more...

Back in the Yard, Barkers!Sorry for the delay - I have been running ragged since the draft. The days just keep flying by. It has been the quickest two weeks I have ever experienced.

I feel your pain fellow Eagles fans. I was there when they read that the Eagles had traded away (for a second year in a row) their first round selection. I thought to myself for a moment…Perhaps for that number one receiver that we have all been searching for? But no….it wasn't to be. [ sigh ]We   more...

I guess it was fitting that the first day ends with a Trojan getting selected - Terrell Thomas going to the Giants. It meant so much to see all the guys get drafted and I know there will be more tomorrow. Some of these guys had a chance to leave early but we stayed together because we knew we had   more...

Chris Henry was in court for a pre-trial hearing Tuesday, and the judge ruled that the former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver can travel for tryouts with other NFL teams.Would a team actually consider giving Chris Henry his 7th, 8th, or 9th chance in the NFL? I wonder how long of a suspension   more...

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports Anquan Boldin has requested a trade.The Cardinals have reportedly informed Boldin that they will not deal him, but as always a team like Dallas, Washington, or Philadelphia might blow them away with a draft-day offer.

You guys know I don't ever say something unless I truley believe it... I've never been for the WR rumors before the draft but read on....Hmmm is Philadelphia the only city that realizes that our All-Pro CB Lito Sheppard is still an Eagle? I mean you can't find info anywhere about this. After long   more...

I don't even know where to start with this one. I'll just let Henry's quotes do the talking;"It's been kind of rough for me," he said. "You know, just the fact that these little incidents in Cincinnati have been kind of negative things for me, dealing with cops and things like that. But as far as   more...

While the free agency purge and the NFL Draft have come and gone, teams hold minicamps and continue to evaluate their rosters as they look to shape the club they will bring to training camp late this summer. While the premier free agents have been plucked from the market, many players -- mostly   more...

They're the same height and almost the same weight. They have many of the same facial features. They use some of the same expressions. They play the same position.And, for the first time, Carson and Jordan Palmer play on the same NFL team.Carson stood on the sideline in shorts and watched his   more...

Los Angeles has been rumored to obtain an NFL team due to the market being the second largest in the U.S. I can't see the NFL adding 2 additional teams to balance the AFC/NFC (even though San Antonio might be the clear second choice) So, given the current landscape of the NFL, which team do you   more...
