From the thread title I thought, "Not another Ray Lewis thread!"

Rainey was officially let go.

Despite the Urban Meyer connection, it's hard to see a decent Pats fit even if you chose to ignore all of the character red flags.

Maybe the Bengals bring him in!

They should definitely bring this kid in for a look, if they can get him.

The bengals have been looking for someone to complement BJGE. I wonder if they put in a waiver claim on him.

They'd be smart to do it. The kid's just a 5th round pick, so the money's low. The two "prior incidents" that got brought up by Florio are nothing of substance (DWLS that got straightened out and a trespass for violating a self-imposed casino banning.

If he can play now that he's gotten some NFL time under his belt, he'll be a steal. If he sucks, or he acts up again, you're just cutting a minimum, or near-minimum, salary.

When will Rainey get on the field for us if we signed him. Ridley's our primary runner. Bolden seems like he might be his backup. Vereen is ready to take that 3rd down back from Woodhead. Oh, we have Demps to back-up Vereen and return kicks.

Camp competition....

If he can't find a spot, cut him loose.

Hard to trade players that clubs pretty much know you're gonna cut
