In the second trial for Chris Henry's latest case, the prosecutors dropped the last remaining charge against him. So the first try ended in a mistrial as the jurors couldn't reach a verdict and now the charges are just dropped. Apparently, the judge ruled against the prosecutors on a few motions ......

Chad Johnson had ankle surgery today. He had his right ankle cleaned out. It's the ankle that bugged him last year. The team recommended he have surgery in the offseason but Johnson didn't. When he showed up at camp recently, he originally said he couldn't practice because his ankle hurt. He even......

Chad Johnson fully participated in drills on Saturday. He had only taken part in a few drills here and there Thursday and Friday, complaining that his ankle was injured. As he left the field, all he would said was "Vote for Obama". With all the bad publicity Johnson has gotten this offseason, I w......

Former Bengal wide receiver Chris Henry has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL. Henry had been released by the Bengals on April 3rd after being arrested for the fifth time. It seems amazing to me that it was only his fifth arrest after all the time he's spent in the news. Henry's agent has sa......

He had said he would show up to camp but after everything that has happened this offseason, no one was really sure. But Chad Johnson has reported to the first day of team minicamps. Who knows if he'll practice but hopefully it's a good sign that he's there. Maybe both sides can work everything ou......

The team has waived wide receiver Doug Gabriel. He had been signed as a free agent earlier this offseason. When it looked like Chad Johnson wasn't going to play and the team worried T.J. wouldn't play either, they signed a bunch of wide receivers. I had read some good things about Gabriel this of......

The Bengals had parted ways with linebacker Odell Thurman but now it's coming out that he may have violated the league's substance abuse policy again. Thurman had been suspended the last two seasons for substance abuse and had been reinstated earlier this offseason. But the team decided he had no......

I've seen reports that say Chad Johnson will show to mandatory camp soon. He has held out and he made his threats and the Bengals haven't budged so far. I don't think either side has necessarily looked very good so far. Most people say that Chad has been like a baby and the Bengals haven't [...]...

The Bengals have released linebacker Odell Thurman just about a month after the NFL reinstated him from a two-year suspension. Thurman had been gone for a week to deal with the passing of his grandmother. He had not come back to attend the team's voluntary workouts last week. Thurman's agent had ......

The Bengals have signed wide receiver Maurice Purify. He is an undrafted free agent from Nebraska. The stats that stick out are his multiple run-ins with the law. Purify has been in trouble for assault, resisting arrest and a DUI. So now the team has drafted Jason Shirley who got drunk and drove ......

It doesn't look like the team will sign Shaun Alexander. Rudi Johnson has bulked up to about 225 pounds (up from 212 last year) and hopes to return to form after a down year last season. Tailback Chris Perry has looked good in drills and if healthy, will really add another dimension to the offens......
