Bengals name Rudi Johnson thier franchise player

**CatDawg** · 02-15-2005, 07:10 PM

I guess Rudi won't be going anywhere after all.

dirty30 · 02-15-2005, 10:12 PM

he probably wont be going anywhere anytime soon but what makes you say he is their "franchise player"
just becasue of the contract length and money?

**CatDawg** · 02-15-2005, 10:22 PM

No they declared him their franchise player today. Each team must declare one player and for the Bengals it's Rudi.

dirty30 · 02-15-2005, 11:32 PM

O i c now
thanks for clearing things up for me CatDawg!

**CatDawg** · 02-16-2005, 12:11 AM

Anytime.

dirty30 · 02-16-2005, 12:12 AM

would rudi be your pick for the franchise player of the bengals, CatDawg or would it be someone else?

**CatDawg** · 02-16-2005, 09:17 PM

If I remember correctly it has to be a player who's contract is up. I might be wrong if it could be anyone I would go with Palmer right now. I really think he's going to have a big year this upcoming season.

dirty30 · 02-17-2005, 12:23 AM

thats true
did u hear that Rudi may hold out next season just so he can get out of Cincy???
tahts what i heard
just a rumor but could definately happen

I thinl the Bengals will be pretty good this year

VonWafer_FSU · 02-17-2005, 08:25 PM

good job by the bengals, now if they only could re-sign wide receiver....t.j housmanzadah

dirty30 · 02-17-2005, 08:44 PM

yea
i think the Bengals need one more impact player to push for the playoffs
if they can pull that off
watch out!

**CatDawg** · 02-17-2005, 09:03 PM

I hope they keep T.J.

dirty30 · 02-17-2005, 09:21 PM

they need to...

**CatDawg** · 02-17-2005, 09:28 PM

If they do it could be a real good season.

VonWafer_FSU · 02-17-2005, 10:11 PM

t.j. and chad were such a good duo and fit well with carson palmer

**CatDawg** · 02-18-2005, 06:43 PM

Your right VW.

VonWafer_FSU · 02-18-2005, 11:50 PM

but maybe they should let t.j. go and sign a defensive stud

**CatDawg** · 02-19-2005, 12:41 AM

I think they'll take care of the defense and keep T.J.

VonWafer_FSU · 02-19-2005, 01:28 AM

tj wants a lot of money, there offense is good enuff to compete, defense blows

**CatDawg** · 02-19-2005, 01:29 AM

I know what your saying but I think they can take care of both.

VonWafer_FSU · 02-19-2005, 01:32 AM

they cant take care of both, theres salary cap issues, only way they would of kept tj is if they let rudi johnson go

dirty30 · 02-19-2005, 02:41 AM

well their season depends on tj now lol

**CatDawg** · 02-19-2005, 01:34 PM

Stranger things have happened VW.

**BCF4L** · 02-19-2005, 01:37 PM

Keep TJ. Draft defense.

**CatDawg** · 02-19-2005, 01:43 PM

I agree.

VonWafer_FSU · 02-20-2005, 01:20 AM

get rid of tj, and get a proven marquee defensive player, and than draft more defensive people

Peter Griffin · 02-20-2005, 01:24 AM

i think this was a great move by the Bengals

VonWafer_FSU · 02-20-2005, 01:37 AM

wut move?

jayblackcat2006 · 02-20-2005, 08:31 PM

Yes, he should be their franchise player, Carson Palmer is good also, the Bengals will make the playoffs next year after they pick up a good player in the draft.

VonWafer_FSU · 02-20-2005, 08:35 PM

no they wont man.....stop dreamin
