Bengals lose two, keep one
Steinbach, Wilkins move on, but team gives Watson 3-year deal
BY MARK CURNUTTE | MCURNUTTE@ENQUIRER.COM
While the Bengals executed their plan of sitting back and assessing free agency, two of their top free agents - guard Eric Steinbach and linebacker Marcus Wilkins - left the fold Friday.
The Bengals re-signed third-down tailback and special teams player Kenny Watson to a three-year contract.

Kelly ponders NFL possibilities
Bengals TE meeting teams, weighing offers
BY MARK CURNUTTE | MCURNUTTE@ENQUIRER.COM
Reggie Kelly took the call at noon Saturday as he was re-loading his car for another ride to the airport.
He opened a door, and the car beeped the annoying reminder that his key was in the ignition.
The Bengals free-agent tight end had returned Friday night to his Greater Cincinnati home from Atlanta, where he had received what he said was a "very nice" contract offer from the Falcons, who on Friday signed former Bengals linebacker Marcus Wilkins.

Hope lies with injured Bengals
Young players, healing players could provide lift
BY MARK CURNUTTE | MCURNUTTE@ENQUIRER.COM
For the third consecutive day, the Bengals on Sunday had no outside free agent visits to confirm.
Some fans are grumbling, complaining that the Bengals are sitting on enough salary-cap space to get creative and lure an impact player the likes of former Steelers linebacker Joey Porter, or ensure they bring back vital cogs such as tight end Reggie Kelly and safety Kevin Kaesviharn - especially after terminating the contract of nine-year linebacker Brian Simmons to save up to $3.4 million in 2007.

Call from Palmer sold Kelly
BY MARK CURNUTTE | MCURNUTTE@ENQUIRER.COM
Tight end Reggie Kelly said a late-afternoon phone call Tuesday from quarterback Carson Palmer persuaded him to take less money to stay with the Bengals.
Kelly said he would be staying in Cincinnati for three more years and that he left "a lot of money on the table" in Atlanta, Arizona and Oakland to remain a Bengal.
"That will be seven years with my hall-of-fame quarterback," Kelly told The Enquirer.

Bengals quiet in free agency
Team building with re-signing, draft
BY MARK CURNUTTE | MCURNUTTE@ENQUIRER.COM
While other NFL teams - such as Denver, Washington and Miami - have made big headlines in the past week by signing free agents from other teams, the Bengals have been quiet since bidding opened Friday at 12:01 a.m.
That's because on Marvin Lewis' calendar, the 2007 free-agency signing period started in July 2006.
Last summer, the Bengals signed two of their top and most valuable players - starting offensive tackles Levi Jones and Willie Anderson - to multiyear extensions. Jones, Anderson and starting right tackle Bobbie Williams (who signed his deal in April) all would have been eligible for unrestricted free agency this month had they not re-signed.

Bengals' O'Neal pleads to lesser charge
Associated Press
BATAVIA, Ohio - Cincinnati cornerback Deltha O'Neal, one of nine Bengals players arrested over a nine-month period, pleaded guilty on Friday to a less serious traffic offense stemming from his arrest at a drunken driving checkpoint.
O'Neal, originally charged with driving drunk after being arrested on Dec. 9 at a checkpoint in Clermont Country east of Cincinnati, pleaded guilty to reckless driving.
O'Neal told Municipal Court Judge James Shriver that as a father of three small children, he realized the need to be more responsible.
