WR Chatman released

The Bengals today further tweaked their roster, terminating the contract of wide receiver Antonio Chatman and signing offensive lineman Dan Santucci to a four-year contract.

Santucci had been signed to the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad.

Chatman played in only three games in 2006 and was injured in the first practice of training camp. Santucci, the Bengals' first of two seventh-round draft picks, was waived Sept. 2 but was re-signed this morning.

The Bengals also made two moves on their practice squad, signing wide receiver Jesse Holley, who had been waived Sept. 2, and moving tight end Tim Day to the practice squad/injured list. Day suffered a hamstring injury earlier this week.

The Bengals now have five wide receivers and nine offensive linemen on their active roster.

-- The Bengals this morning also confirmed that the entire 2007 home season has been sold-out through season-ticket sales.

-- A source told The Enquirer this afternoon that the NFL has rescinded its suspension of Bengals defensive end Frostee Rucker.

The Gestapo also needs to rescind the season-long suspension of Odell Thurman. If there's no secret then it's over the top excessive to not allow him to earn a living. He paid the price last season.

Isn't Santucci the third center on the active roster? I suspect that means Ghiaciuc's injury will cause him to miss time. Any thoughts?

Given the Bengals' lack of depth at backer, is anyone - besides me -
surprised the Bengals didn't work a trade with the Bears for Lance Briggs? Seems like a first-round pick would have done the trick and we need a mainstay given the NFL's ridiculous decision to extend Thurman's suspension.

The Bears didn't want to trade Briggs, they wanted to sign him - and they did.
