Safety McCree to visit

Former Chargers safety Marlon McCree, released Thursday after two seasons with the team, will visit Carolina, Miami and the Bengals, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune Chargers blog.

The Bengals chose to let former starting free safety Madieu Williams to sign a six-year contract Friday with the Vikings.

The Bengals were interested in McCree, a former University of Kentucky star, following his 2005 season with the Carolina Panthers. He signed with the Chargers instead.

Chinney & Marlon playing safety, with hall & joseph on the corners gives the Bengals a young, but very talented secondary. McCree is a good character guy, a vet, but a young vet still. Then, if his attitude is okay, have Deltha on the nickel and possibly draft Nakamura as a backup. That's a strong secondary/special team situation for many years to come.

Drafting or signing Nakamura as a college free agent would be huge for special teams and in case Ndwukwe or whoever else is playing S gets hurt. He is a beast who knows how to play football and who is not afraid to play it the right way...

marlon mcree jacked up TJ when we played the chargers recently, and it was a very early hit and knocked TJ completely out. i will never forgive marlon mcree. i hate him. do not come to cincinnati. id rather trade carson palmer to the jets for artrell hawkins then have to see this loser and dirty player in our defensive secondary.

I probably had the same reaction to the hit on TJ at the time, but in the back of my mind I was also thinking about how the Bengals secondary NEVER hit receivers like that and it would be great to get a hard-hitting safety in our secondary.

It's only a dirty play when your team's receiver is the one getting hit.
