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
