Defensive lineman Lawrence Guy has completed his visit with the Patriots and will continue taking meetings with other clubs, according to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com (Twitter links). The Ravens, meanwhile, would still like to re-sign Guy, but their overall level of interest is unclear. PFR ranked Guy as the No. 12 interior defender heading into the free agent period.
Here’s more from the AFC:
- The Bengals will host controversial Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon on a private visit, reports Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. Cincinnati was one of four clubs — including Cleveland, Detroit, and New Orleans — that met with Dixon last week. Because Mixon was not invited to the combine, the Bengals want the opportunity to speak “extensively” with Mixon about his character, per Terrell.
- Although the Dolphins made a “late attempt” to retain tight end Dion Sims, they offered roughly $2MM less per season than the Bears, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Chicago ultimately signed Sims to a three-year, $18MM deal that features $6MM in guarantees. Miami has since signed veteran Anthony Fasano to fill the void at tight end.
- Three teams are interested in free agent wide receiver Kamar Aiken, tweets La Canfora (although he doesn’t identify the clubs). Aiken, 27, managed only 29 receptions for the Ravens in 2016 after putting up 75 catches the year prior.
The bengals want to talk to mixon about character. Of course they do. It’s the bengals. The team with the most character guys. Maybe they should bring Pac-Man on the interview.
Throw in Jeremy Hill while you’re at it.
Jeremy Hill has been a model citizen his entire time in Cincinnati. In college he got into the bar fight. Wow.
Yup, leave it to the Bengals or the Raiders to sign any and every guy they can with character issues. Other teams try to set the example by not rewarding those guys a chance to play in the league but CIN and OAK seem to ignore character if it means wins. It’s sad.
You forgot about the Jets.
I believe the Cowboys have been a bit guilty of this in recent seasons, as well
Before this off season, has Adam Jones been in trouble with the law in Cincy? Serious question, not being a smart ass
Who tf are you talking about on the raiders ? You sound moronic you bum. The raiders have high class players except maybe the exception of aldon smith who we signed first to help him get his life on track. @bleacherbum
You have no idea what your talking about so I suggest you keep your lips sealed you imbecile
I’m a Bengals fan and I’m not in favor of the Bengals bringing on Mixon but I do wonder, is there anything a person can do to redem himself after a situation like Mixon had, or Ray Rice or whichever altercation you want to reference? Have they forever forfeited any chance at pro sports? I’m not asking in defense..I’m asking out of curiosity
Y would the Bengals bring him in. The have Hill and Bernard. They need oline help now. A WR and help on all 3 levels of the D. The Raiders r a good fit. So r the Browns. Saints have Ingram.
