The Cincinnati Bengals have announced that they have placed the franchise tag on kicker Shayne Graham.

“Shayne has consistently performed at a high level for us, and we expect that same performance in 2009 and hopefully beyond,” said Bengals coach Marvin Lewis in a team-issued release. “We’ll continue to speak with Shayne and his representatives about signing a longer-term deal.”
The move means that all other Bengals free agents — including receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, running back Cedric Benson, and tackle Stacey Andrews will hit the market at midnight on February 27, 2009.

They tagged their kicker. What do you think about that?

what a stupid move and further proof to me that Marvin is a total idiot (like we needed any more proof of that)

how in the world can they let TJ go ?

I totally agreed.

What are they going to do, trade Field Goal for a Touchdown.

Lewis said Shayne has been consistent and there for them. Do you think TJ was?

I heard this on the radio today. The announcer summed it up perfectly by asking one question..

Q "How did your season go last year"

A " Our kicker is our franchise player"

I think this sums up the bengals entirely

Carson Palmer was hurt, So no one can say TJ and Ocho Zero didn't do much.
