"Offensive tackle Andre Smith signed a contract Sunday with the Cincinnati Bengals, ending an impasse that dragged on a month into the preseason. The Bengals originally planned to have Smith start at right tackle, but he has missed three preseason games. He was in Cincinnati and agreed to the deal shortly before the start of a late afternoon practice, allowing him to get back on the field. The four-year deal includes $21 million guaranteed. The team has an option after the 2010 season that would turn it into a six-year deal that includes $29.5 million guaranteed (Sportsline)."
About fucking time. I don't know about everyone else, but this kid has bust written all over him. He has missed so much of camp, and you add that to all the trouble he had around draft time, and you are just setting yourself up for an implosion. If you have been watching Hard Knocks then you would know the Bengals have been ripping on this guy all the time, while he was not there. It will be interesting to see how the team brings him in...
