OK never heard of him but, from the comments by Rams fans, I guess I shouldn’t be doing back flips that we landed him.
Not sure why Bobbie Williams wasn’t brought back. Maybe this signing is to gain leverage with Williams cuz it doesn’t sound like he would make the team.

He was VERY inconsistent with us. I don’t blame him totally for nearly getting SB murdered, cuz it was a total team effort, but he should be a depth player at best.

Honestly- one of the worst guards the Rams have ever had. This was Spagnuolo and Devaney’s first big free agent signing and probably a big piece that lead to them both to being fired. As a Rams fan, I was actually worried that Fisher might hold onto him because he was an ex-Titan, but thankfully, even he realized that all this guy is good for is being pushed back into the QB and jumping offsides.

Rampant here, sorry… between him and Jason Smith, they nearly got Bradford killed last year, that’s the reality behind the rams woes, not Bradford’s poor play, bengalfan better hope he backs up at best, or Dalton will hit a wall.

They probably picked him up in case decastro is gone by time they draft.
Good pickup.

Hahaha replacement for Livings? No, he’s backup depth. Good signing.

Miami of Ohio boy coming home for a 1 year deal @ minimum with a shot to win a backup job in camp. (He’s a friend of a friend and I am willing to be that’s why he chose Cincy)

Insurance if they don’t land a top notch G in the draft. Smart play really. They’re setup to draft best available player all the way. And once upon a time Bell was a big time FA OG.

Good move, will compete for a roster spot as a back-up OL.

I hope deCastro is available when their pick comes up.

Hopefully this guy is just backing up DeCastro and Wharton.

By “bag” did you mean Bengals officials had to actually throw a bag over him and physically drag him to the team facilities. That I believe.

I bet Andy Dalton is satisfied with this signing.

New pieces yes, good pieces? No.
