Dillon
The buzz during Super Bowl week was that even the teams expected to have some trade interest in perennially disgruntled Cincinnati tailback Corey Dillon, who almost certainly will not return to the Bengals in 2004, aren't willing to give up much more than a middle-round pick for the seven-year veteran. And two teams told ESPN.com they preferred to wait out the Bengals, expecting them to release Dillon outright at some point in the spring or summer. It doesn't help the Bengals' chances of dealing Dillon that the '04 draft looks to be fairly thick with tailback prospects. Dillon will be 30 in October, a key threshold for running backs in the NFL, is coming off an injury-marred 2003 campaign, and his history of being a problem child is well-documented. Want some more lack of stability? Try this: Dillon has again dumped his agent, this time dismissing David Dunn, and will change his representation for at least the third time in his career. Even one Bengals official allowed at the Super Bowl that Dillon "has basically no market (value)" right now

Isn't it funny that all of the talk that went on last off season,........ we were all surprised when the first day of FA hit.

I wonder if ole Danny Boy is sending out his smoke screen ya' know:

Fly clear across the united states to do three 12 hour interviews just to hire Joe Gibbs. Whom he had already talked to. Gibbs had already talked to Williams. etc.... etc.... etc...

This is a sneaky business and The Daniel is a mean YOUNG BUCK in the game.

I hope he makes us the most hated team again this off season........

Beware of POKER FACE SNYDER!!!!

staley wants ALOT OF MONEY, why doesnt anybody understand this? And hes not even half of what corey dillon is....you guys hate on dillon becuase of his attitude? has anybody else been in his shoes?? has anybody seen what he has been through, its surprising to hear this from you guys that you want staley. Staley isnt worth our time unless everyone in FA is taken. Staley is a better WR then a RB....believe that...he was perfect for the fun n gun but not for gibbs offense.

I think we should forget about both of them. Dillon is a head case and Duce is probably gonna be way over priced. I like trying to get TJ Duckett or drafting Chris Perry in the 2nd round. Perry is a workhorse that can play every down. He can run the ball, he can catch the ball, and he's a good blocker out of the backfield for an incoming rookie. Best of all, no Duce or Dillon ego's. Draft Perry!!!

I say draft Tatum Bell in the 3rd round. Best gamebreaker in the draft not at wide receiver. OSU has had some good backs in the past... He's my sleeper pick for us in the draft. Do we even have a 3rd rounder though?

Chris Perry or Greg Jones in B n G next season and not Corey Dillon.
