Chad Johnson on wishing he could’ve stayed with the Bengals his whole career:
“I would’ve loved to let Marv know, ‘I’ll take a paycut. Just put me in the slot, allow A.J. Green to do what he do on the outside.’”
“If I could do it again, I would’ve stayed.”

Fellow #Bengals fan, Captain Curtis Angst of Wilmington, OH was one of the 6 that tragically passed away in the tanker crash over Iraq serving his country.
Nothing but love and prayers sent to his family, friends, & loved ones.
Thank you for your Service 🫡🇺🇸❤️
Heartbreaking.
Sources: The #Bengals and G Dalton Risner have agreed to a new extension, per @whitmarierisner.
Risner started 11 games for Cincinnati last season and fit in perfectly. This was a priority for the Bengals and now it’s done.
It'll be interesting to see if us Bengals fans can rally after a disappointing season, to push Ted from #3 to #1.
I think we can do it.

Bengals Camp Day 9:
* Offense with a strong day, Joe Burrow with several sideline routes to Tee Higgins and one fade to Higgins over DJ Ivey in red zone. (nullified by offense not allowing defense to sub fully).
* Amarius Mims played first three series of 11s before coming out for rookie Jalen Rivers at right tackle. Rivers played with the 1s for the rest of practice.
* Mims says he is nursing a right hand issue but says he could still be available to play Thursday night in Philly if coaches want him to.
* Mims says the run game is "100 percent better."
* DJ Ivey got significant time with the 1s in the secondary as Dax Hill (load management), Marco Wilson (injury), Cam Taylor-Britt (general soreness) sat Sunday. Ivey had PBUs of Ja'Marr Chase early but was caught behind Chase when Chase dropped a deep route for a TD. Also played competitively against Higgins.
* DC Al Golden with praise of Shemar Stewart and his remarkable ability as a rookie to play three position on DL, including edge. "He's got to get into football shape. The tempo got him a little today, so he's just got to keep working on that. We'll get him some days off and get ready for Thursday night. Overall he's physical, he's powerful at the point of attack. He plays with effort and energy and you feel his presence on the field."
* Al Golden on Joe Burrow: "Man, he is so poised on the line of scrimmage. He doesn't do anything fast. He tries to manipulate either the cadence, to see a skew of some skid, some kind of pre-snap tell. And he has so many answers. The one thing that is underrated is some of those balls, if you were here last night, some of those touch throws, the overs, just incredible throws. Guys are draped on (the receiver) and the ball can only be caught if it's in one spot. So accuracy, command, he has answers and he's just playing with a lot of poise. I can't remember the last time we had an interception on him, and I think that's the greatest compliment you can give a quarterback. Because the ball will go out of bounds or he'll eat it rather than give up a big play. And you've got to be mentally tough to do that."
* Bengals off Monday, practice Tuesday, travel Wednesday. Game Thursday in Philadelphia.
Before this flight home takes off, here's my Day-3 board.
I don't care about filling needs on day-3. These guys aren't expected to start. You develop good prospects and see what you get.
So feel free to double up at DE, OL, LB. There are good prospects available.
We had the guys behind @GridironGrading on 3AO this week! They explained their process for evaluating draft talent, took us through a mock draft, and showed off their new app. It's up on @BengalsOBI and @BleavNetwork now! #Bengals
