Maybe they want more competition at the slot?

Ryan Whalen says he grew up going to Golden State Warriors games. Chris Mullin was his neighbor. Got hair cut same place.

Talked to Stanford WR Ryan Whalen yesterday. He power cleans 350 pounds. that's more than 90 percent of O-linemen. And Whalen weighs 205.Wow

So kudos, Ryan, for being able to hang onto the 53-man roster for so long considering your late-round draft status and your relatively loaded position group

and he's the white WR we've been longing for

Kind of surprised no one has brought in Brian Hartline

This isn't necessarily a vote of confidence in our current receiver corps. With all the receivers we have on the roster, we go and sign yet another one? Makes one wonder.

There is no wonder about it. The current group is not good. Even against other 3s, there has been no one that consistently gets separation.

plus they lost one to IR and another 2 guys are banged up

Hidden talent. Too many good WRs on CIN. He was able to stay on the team since 2011. He will look like a superstar next to our WRs.
