Today TJ Houshmandzadeh signed a 5 year $40 million contract with $15 million in guarantee money. That's a lot to give a 31 year old. Needless to say I'm happy for TJ, and think he made the best decision. While TJ is busy building his money bin in the pacific northwest, bengal fans will be preparing to support a team that lost its most consistent player over the past four years and likely won't do anything about it. Some will miss his ponytail and incessant complaining to the refs, I'll miss hearing every TV announcer pronounce his name differently.
So far the Bengals have signed a couple of retreads (Crocker, Blackstock, DeDe) while watching 2 of their free agents sign for a combined $100 million. Even with an easy schedule (Lions! Raiders! Texans!), I can't see this team winning more than four games in 2009
