TE Stewart joins list of re-upped Bengals

By Mark Curnutte
Enquirer staff writer

The Bengals continue to maintain the core of their special teams, and today signed another of their unrestricted free agents, tight end Tony Stewart, to a one-year contract.

It follows by a day the signing of another Bengals UFA, running back Kenny Watson, a solid contributor in the kicking game. He also signed a one-year contract.

The Bengals have now re-signed six of their unrestricted free agents. The others are linebackers Marcus Wilkins and Hannibal Navies, cornerback Rashad Bauman and safety Anthony Mitchell.

Stewart played in 14 games in 2005 with three starts and had three receptions for 26 yards. He returns at tight end, along with starter Reggie Kelly, and the Bengals are expected to draft a tight end to replace Matt Schobel, who signed with Philadelphia as a free agent.

Also today, the Bengals' public relations staff learned it was one of five finalists for the Rozelle Award, presented annually to the top public relations staff in the league as voted by members of the Pro Football Writers of America.

hey, here's an idea!

good lord, people think that you're good at your job, but i beg to differ.

I think he's good at his job, but I don't think he thinks his job includes updating this blog.

In case anyone reads this, cincinnati.com COULD be a catch-all that eliminates my need to go elsewhere (i.e. other local) blogs, for info, if every blog was as well updated or maintained as Trent R's, Dustin Dow's or Marc L's.

Until you start delivering the Bengals news, you are failing at that and I am just as likely to go elsewhere. But you don't have to take my word for it, follow the traffic. Where do users go AFTER cincinnati.com?

Why not hire a Bengal blogger for a nominal fee? I am sure there are some of us out here that would do it for free.

P.S. Posting feature stories to the blog does not equal updates. Check Marc Lancaster's, Dustin Dow's and Trent's if you want to see what I mean.

I agree...I dont know why I bother clicking on this blog when it is never updated.

The enquirer should give the blog to someone who would use it.

I'm still waiting on an answer about Donnie Edwards. If the Bengals do switch to a 3-4, the Bengals should trade a pick for Edwards.

Let's start a petition to nominate a new "official" bengals blogger. Candidates include:

1. Geoff Hobson
2. Dave Lapham
3. Alan "it's a great day to be a bengals fan" Cutler
4. Tom "oh, come on" Gamble
5. Trent Rosencras (simply, because he is the best blogger on this website)

Thoughts? Comments? Concerns? Any other candidates?
