In an earlier post, I mentioned that it might not be so bad that we didn't get Shaun Rogers as long as we get Dewayne Robertson. Monday morning, a deal looked fairly imminent (confirmed by Geoff Hobson). Now ESPN.com says the deal is on life support. Apparently the Bengals can't agree to terms with the No. 4 pick in the 2003 draft. In fact, this story points out ...
In an interesting twist, the Bengals would have had on their roster two of the first four picks in the 2003 draft. In fact, Cincinnati selected quarterback Carson Palmer first overall that year from among a group of four finalists that also included Robertson, whom Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis (along with many other personnel evaluators) is said to have loved coming out of the University of Kentucky.
It does sound like we're going to get Antwan Odom, though, which is good.
