Two weeks ago they locked up left tackle Rod Jones for three more years. But Anderson is a free agent after this season, and if the Bengals can't make any more progress on a contract extension before the April 15-16 draft, Samuels will be quite attractive. Plus, even if Anderson has his contract extended, Samuels is good enough to get some Bengals insiders dreaming about moving Jones to left guard. But the complaining of Carl Pickens and Corey Dillon also has the Bengals looking at wide receivers and running backs with their first pick. He's in a tier just below Boselli.

This guy has good athletic balance. He's going to play right away and be a good one. I've been lifting trying to get bigger. That's one of the things Willie's been telling me. You don't have to tell Samuels much.
