One year deal. What ya think?

Its one of those that could work out but you just don't know for sure.

The $2 million in incentives certainly will give him every reason to work hard and be at his very best. Crazy team though, lot of dodgy characters on it.

about bloody time!

The Bengals.

Of course.

Should be interesting with Ocho Cinco and him as the Wide Receivers

Peyton Manning

In one way, Im happy. Im a big TO fan.

On the other hand, I wanted to see Jordan Shipley get some playing time and this will diminish his chances somewhat.

Pacman and TO in the same offseason? That cant be good, there seemed to be an animosity between them at Dallas that showed up on Hard Knocks.

Also, surely this confirms that signing Bryant was a HUGE mistake.

Going to see the season opener between the Pats and Bengals, slightly nervous to see how the young 2ndry will hold up against their WRs especially if there is no pass rush on Palmer

Be there for that one meself and also nervous to see it. Hopefully TO is as ineffective as he was with the Bills

Bryant, Ochocinco, T.O, this could be a big letdown, or it could really work, at least for next year. If Ced Benson keeps his form they could be a really dangerous team.

I agree, am a fan of Shipley and was hoping to see him do well.

This pairing of T.O. and Chad Johnson could be massive and set the league alight. If it works it'll give Palmer a huge boost which I think he deserves. Or something tells me it'll be a mediocre pairing or it'll be disasterous.

EDIT: Just spotted this on Adam Schefter's Twitter, not sure if in article.

T.O.'s incentives: 60 catches - 333k; 100 catches - 333k; 900 yds - 333k; 1300 yds - 333k; 10 td's - 333k; 14 td's - 333k. Total $2 mil.

Giving TO an incentives based contract! Like the guy doesn't want the ball enough already.

This'll give him the incentive to demand it more so.

TO is a handful at the best of times when he's not being thrown to, jesus could you imagine what he'll be like when a large portion of his income is incentive based.

(Personally, I can't wait... :P)

They really did Hard Knocks on the Bengals a year too soon....

Ah I watched Hard Knocks when TO was with the Cowboys and he was the star of that training camp, excelling at everything
Yes, I realize it's edited so we see what the producers and editors want us to see.

I hope he does well though
Though not against Division rivals the Ravens :cool:
