Odell Thurman??

The Bengals released Odell Thurman Monday, after serving a two-year suspension. Thurman had not reported to OTAs in recent weeks because of an ailing grandmother in Georgia who passed away last week. He led the team in tackles as a rookie in '05, and is only scheduled to make about 500K this year...the other important thing is that Thurman is almost guaranteed to be cleared to play by the NFL this season--he's had no recent character "issues" per the NFL. So what do y'all think??? Should we take a flyer on him, we've got the cap room...

I would bring him in for a physical and a workout. He did some stupid stuff an has been suspended for a long time. The question is has he learned anything from it. If the suspension has caused him to mature he might be a good contributor to any team.

The question is right Did You Learn Anything ODELL. If you did we loved to have you. But if you didn't, you don't have to go home but you can stay here.

i may be in the minority here, but if he wants to sign for the minimum with incentives being a part of the contract, id be all for giving him a shot. im not sold on our LBers and their injuries.

im with u dude....second chances are hard to come by and it wouldnt hurt to have him in our LB unit....what could go wrong...if he gets arrested again...we release him and he will be out of our hair....especially if all he wants is the minimum

Let him try out. You play you get paid contract. Do not forget we are talking about a SLB here.
