Bengals sign Stepanovich

Looking to bolster depth at center, the Bengals signed free agent Alex Stepanovich to a one-year deal Friday. The 6-4, 312-pound Stepanovich is a seasoned veteran of 30 starts with the Cardinals and is an Ohio State product Arizona selected in the fourth round of the 2004 draft.

Stepanovich didn’t miss a snap and became the first rookie center in Cardinals history to start every game in 2004. With the coaching change from Dennis Green to Ken Whisenhunt, he was not made a tender offer by Arizona that would have made him a restricted free agent.

It would be nice if this guy turns out to be as good as the last Center we acquired from the Cardinals after they failed to sign him. Anyone know who it was?

Thats right.....Rich Braham

Not sure about this signing, I mean they already had Guaiciuc who did pretty good after he got a few games under his belt last year. I believe they were also still fairly high on Ben Wilkerson too.

Yet, while they're out signing a backup center, the already porous defense is losing guys left and right, and they're still not signing anyone new for that side of the ball. They are going to have use every single draft pick on defense.
