Thought these goodies from "the Gridiron Newsstand", especially in light of RB Corey Dillon's recent absence from mini-camp, would be a good way to kick off a Cincinnati Bengals Offseason Report thread:

Honestly, nothing to worry about on the Dillon front... if you were wondering what my take was.

Looks like Dillon is on board now. This article is right off the Bengals website..
In the minutes after last season's loss in the finale at Buffalo, Bengals running back Corey Dillon shared a joke with fullback Lorenzo Neal that went along the lines that neither wanted to start another season at Georgetown College.
Well, Neal isn't coming back because he's in San Diego. But Dillon isn't laughing in the Marvin Lewis era and on Wednesday he put his money and his house on the Bengals winning the AFC North.
"I'm not saying we're the favorites or anything like that, I just like what we're doing" said Dillon after practice. "I'll put all our chips on us. I'm going to ride with us. If I was a betting man, I'd go with us."
Dillon knows that if he uttered such words in any other year, he would be committed, or at the very least, be on ESPN as the newest joke; But Dillon thinks Lewis has instilled the right ingredients.
"Once you break it down by personnel, player against player across the board, we match up with anybody", Dillon said. "We just needed a little something extra and Marvin brought that."

or  - Buh-bye (probably to Matthews if Miller can stay healthy)!
Jim Miller
Shaun King - Buh-bye!
Chris Simms -  Welcome! Feel free to stay awhile! |

In any event, the Matthews story is currently second on "The REAL Feed" and here is all the local corroboration from "the Gridiron Newsstand":

Also, an update, according to the second piece, Akili Smith has been told he will be released, so that is in fact a foregone conclusion!

1) Go Palmer
2) Go Bengals. A Bengals AFC Championship means a 9ers NFL Championship 
3) Go Akili. Just outta pity, I wanna see him do well somewhere else.
I wouldn't underestimate the power of Lewis and Palmer having on this organization. I boldly predict an 7-9 year for them, 2nd in their division  .

about the Bengals right now

I guess when you go 2-14 you have to tell yourself these kinds of things to keep your spirits up. They finished with the league's WORST record, giving up the MOST points and only 4 teams scored fewer points... 
not a good sign. Even though they play in a pretty weak division, I still see them finishing in the cellar again next season.
