That’s not going to happen for real on April 25. Not only that, the only quarterback that is gone before the Bengals pick at No. 11 is Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins to Jacksonville at No. 7. That doesn’t figure to happen, either, with Nick Foles expected to John Hancock it with the Jaguars in free agency. Not only that, although the combine means absolutely nothing when it comes to playing football, it seems to have moved the needle for guys like Mississippi wide receiver DK Metcalf Boomer Esiason Jersey , Washington State tackle Andre Dillard and Missouri quarterback Drew Lock. But not enough to get into the top ten it appears, if you go off the Scouts Inc. big board on ESPN.com. Or, in the case of Lock and Metcalf, those positions wouldn’t appear to be on the Bengals’ radar in the first round.Bengals Re-Sign Brandon WilsonWilson, who will be a third-year player in 2019, joined the Bengals as a sixth-round draft pick in 2017 and has played in 24 games over his first two seasons. Considered a core special teams contributor for the Bengals, he ranked second in ST tackles last season (nine) and tied for fourth in 2017 (five).Updated List of Bengals 2019 Free AgentsLast week the Bengals extended tender offers to five players - G/C Trey Hopkins, CB Tony McRae, G Alex Redmond, DT Josh Tupou and S Brandon Wilson. The tenders assure the Bengals will retain their exclusive NFL rights for the upcoming season.Cincinnati Bengals' 2019 free-agent signings: TE C.J. Uzomah, RT Bobby Hart re-signThe Bengals agreed to terms with Uzomah on a three-year deal more than $18 million on Monday Jordan Evans Jersey White , according to the NFL Network. Here’s a closer look at the tight end who will re-sign with the Bengals after being drafted there in 2015.Bobby Hart, C.J. Uzomah extensions have impact on Bengals’ draft plansBobby Hart and C.J. Uzomah will be back in the fold for the Cincinnati Bengals next season and beyond after word about their respective extensions broke Monday.Paul Daugherty column on Cincinnati Bengals 'New Dey'The Bengals, known facetiously in this space as The Men, are calling the rookie season of head coach Zac Taylor a New Dey. “New Dey Bengals’’ is less a slogan than an oxymoron. Just because you trade the beater for a Beemer doesn’t mean you’ll drive any differently. The Bengals are the Bengals are the Bengals.Random NewsC.J. Mosley to get $85M deal with New York JetsNFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday morning that Gang Green is expected to sign former Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley to a massive five-year, $85 million contract with $51 million guaranteed, per sources informed of the agreement.Browns expected to sign DT Sheldon RichardsonThe Browns emerged as the front-runner for Richardson in the wee morning hours on Tuesday, per Rapoport, less than 20 hours into the NFL's negotiating window.Anthony Barr expected to sign with New York JetsThe former Minnesota Vikings linebacker fell out of favor in the Twin Cities while other front-seven teammates saw big-time extensions. Barr, a four-time Pro Bowler, was drafted ninth overall by Minnesota in 2014. Over five seasons with the Vikes, Barr started 71 games Boomer Esiason Jersey White , forced seven fumbles and racked up 13.5 sacks.Chiefs expected to sign Tyrann Mathieu to 3-year dealThe second big-name safety to come off the board in free agency, Mathieu cashed in just hours after the Washington Redskins handed Landon Collins a gargantuan six-year, $84 million contract. Collins' $14M per-year average jacked up Mathieu's price, Rapoport reported, and the Chiefs complied.Ravens open as favorite over Bengals in Week 2 The Bengals are coming off an impressive road win over the Colts to begin the 2018 season.However, the Ravens were arguably the most impressive of any NFL team in the first week of action. They absolutely demolished the Bills en route to a 47-3 win, which frankly was one of the biggest beatdowns the NFL has seen in recent memory.This isn’t Alabama vs. the little sisters of the poor. The league is created in a way that promotes parity and competitive games when even the best teams face the worst teams.So when an NFL team beats another by 44 points, oddsmakers take notice, and they currently have Baltimore as a 1.5-point favorite over Cincinnati in Week 2. Now, it has to be pointed out that the Bengals have won seven of the last nine meetings, and one of those losses was with A.J. Green out of the lineup. The other was with Ken Zampese still calling the offense Carlos Dunlap Jersey White , which is arguably worse than not having Green.The Bengals also went into Baltimore and knocked the Ravens out of the playoffs last season. On one hand, that gives you more confidence the Bengals can take care of business at home. On the other hand, the revenge factor is very real, and the Ravens will be hell-bent on getting theirs on Thursday Night Football.Then again, you could argue the Bengals want some measure of revenge themselves for the 20-0 home embarrassment they suffered to Baltimore in Week 1 last season. The Bengals take pride in defending their home turf, and they’ll be ready to ensure a repeat of 2017 doesn’t happen in 2018.All told, I would give the Bengals an edge, but I’d only favor them by 1-1.5 points. Don’t be surprised if the line moves a point or two by Thursday to make this a pick ‘em. But if history has told us anything, don’t pick Baltimore against a healthy Green and a competent offensive coordinator.
