The Cincinnati Enquirer is reporting that former Bengal Willie Anderson will sign a three-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens worth $11 million."It's cool," Anderson said. "The organization was real cool. I was kind of nervous."
Former Bengals wide receivers coach Hue Jackson, now Ravens quarterbacks coach, took Anderson on a tour of the Ravens castle-like facility in Owings Mills, Md.
"When Hue took me down into the locker room, I was nervous to meet all the guys," Anderson said, "but then Ray Lewis, Lorenzo Neal, Chris McAlister, all the guys, came running up to me, it made me feel at home."
Last week, Anderson was the longest tenured Bengal. On Sunday, he will be facing his old team when the Ravens host Cincinnati at Whatever-It's-Named-This-Year Stadium.
For Anderson, this is a pretty nice deal. Having lost his starting job, the Bengals wanted him to take a pay cut near $1.5 million. He refused and was quickly released. Now he gets a chance to start with a little more coin in his pocket.
Next up: revenge.

The name is M & T Bank stadium. What was the point of making that ignorant remark. It only had one other name which ended when the company went out of business.

So we can find a way to bring Chris Henry back but we can't find a spot for Willie, who has been a staple to the Bengals over the past 12 years. And then there is this horsecrap of Chad changing his name. It's gonna be a long season and I'm sorry to say but it's likely Marvin's last season. Someone should fire the Brown family.

Who is this writer who doesn't know the name of our stadium? It has been known as M&TBank for many years.
Many believe the team will have a poor season and, if the injuries do not clear themselves or the rookies do not cover, it may be one of those rebuilding years.
You can say what you want about the team but it shows ignorance when you make fun of the stadium's name.
