Reggie Kelly: Falcons made offer

Bengals UFA tight end Reggie Kelly just took a call on his cell phone.

He was back from Atlanta, where he received a contract offer from the Falcons. He was leaving his Tristate home for the airport for a flight to Arizona to meet with the Cardinals. Then he was going from Phoenix to Oakland to meet with the Raiders.

"I'm just trying to take it easy (and) soak in everything," he said.

Agent Jimmy Sexton has been difficult to reach to get confirmation about Kelly's whereabouts.

"Jimmy gave me some good advice," Kelly said. "He said just take everything in and then make a decision."

Kelly is an excellent blocker and has played a vital part in the Bengals' no-huddle offense. He plays H-back. Quarterback Carson Palmer lobbied for the team to re-sign Kelly.

Kelly also said the Bengals have been talking to Sexton. The Bengals have said they would like to re-sign the tight end.

"I like being a Bengal," Kelly said. "I'm not sure I'm going to sign right back. This is an important decision for me and my family."
