London Brown called the Bengals acquisition of those two players a "big splash". You deny that?
I don't have to...
He already did.
It was clearly a quote copied from elsewhere
Now about that language question...

Two in for the Bengals
Already boasting stellar talent along the defensive line, the Bengals are bolstering their front line of defense.
Nose tackle D.J. Reader is expected to sign with the Bengals on a four-year, $53 million contract, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

Sure, Gip... just like you own everything you post here. ..

And then did not edit his post as carefully as you did yours from which I plucked the tiny font bit... "Fair to say?"

BTW... Reader is a great get for them. Three solid seasons in HOU miscast as a 3-4 NT seeing too many double teams starting over Center. Then they started giving him some snaps at 3-4
Last season, his 4th, he almost exclusively played DE and racked up 2.5 sacks and 13 QB Hits. It's what got him rated as the #3 IDL in this FA class behind the All-World Chris Jones and Hargrave. Personally I like Reader better than Hargrave.
DJ is going to wreck havoc next to Geno inside... and $13+mm/yr says Cinci agrees with me.
Add Dunlop and that's three quarters of a formidable front four.
As for former 11th overall pick Trae Waynes... while he never lived up to his 1st-round billing IMO, he's a very good CB and one of the better under-30 CBs available in this fairly old and otherwise thin FA Class.
Football fans know this kind of stuff.
Post whores... not so much.

If I ask you questions, it is an attempt to solicit a civil response on a hopefully interesting football question. It is not an invitation for you to act like a preening prima donna, which at times you take those questions to be.

No thanks. Definitely no to Clowney. Wants crazy $ when he's just OK.

Clowney was impactful last season in SEA and has turned out to be reliable physically. He will get the Edge premium he deserves.
The remaining name that jumps out at me is Logan Ryan. After struggling for a couple years in Nashville he returned to his NE form last season with 4 INTs, 4 FFs and 113 tackles... 113 ! That is a massive total for a CB. Only question could be motivation since he bounced back in a contract year, but he was pretty consistent through his 4-years in NE.
