HigSkin Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 http://blogs.nfl.com/2010/01/11/lewi...retain-zimmer/ click link for entire article Lewis ‘very confident’ Bengals will retain Zimmer Bengals coach Marvin Lewis wants to keep defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer in Cincinnati. That might be easier said than done. Zimmer is expected to be sought-after this offseason, particularly by the Redskins (more on that in a minute), as his contract expired at the end of the season. Per NFL rules, the Bengals own a one-week window with exclusive negotiating rights before any other teams can enter the fray. During his season-ending news conference Monday, Lewis was asked how confident he was the Bengals could retain Zimmer. “I’m very confident,” Lewis responded. NFL.com senior writer Steve Wyche blogged in this space over the weekend that the Bengals will open contract talks with Zimmer this week in an effort to retain his services. However, as Wyche notes, the Bengals tend not to spend excessively. And, as Jason La Canfora posted last week, the high-spending Redskins are very interested in Zimmer as defensive coordinator on Mike Shanahan’s staff, but they could face some competition. It’s not difficult to connect those dots. NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi chimed in on the Zimmer front today on NFL Total Access. “It’s going to take a lot of coin to keep Mike Zimmer in Cincinnati,” Lombardi noted. “Something the Bengals typically don’t like to do is pay assistants top-echelon money in that $2 million per-year-range. I suspect Mike Zimmer will be headed out of Cincinnati and [headed] to Washington D.C.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
authentic Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 it may be 50-50 with Zimmer....Common sense says that Cincy has until Saturday to lock him down. If not, then the flood gates will open and the Skins can sink thier teeth into him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE HAMMER'IN HOG Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Do we really want this guy?The Jets one dimensional offense is starting to have their way again, for the second week straight. Absolutely! Didn't remotly impress me with his game planning, or in game adjustments, IMO nothing special here, better than some, not as good as others.

HigSkin Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 The only other team to pay $2mil, beside Skins, for a D coord was NYG and Spags. I doubt they go that high. At least it's not in their nature. I think Garrett is the highest paid coord at $2.7 so I would expect the Skins to come in somewhere between that. No worries, if it's only about $$, the Skins usually win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriousD Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 it may be 50-50 with Zimmer....Common sense says that Cincy has until Saturday to lock him down. If not, then the flood gates will open and the Skins can sink thier teeth into him. I think it's up to Zimmer to decide when he get's "locked down", right? And he would be foolish to decide before seeing what the rest of the league is offering so,... as long as he's not commited to staying in Cincy because it's so damn fine and dandy there, we have as good good a shot as anyone to land him and better than most. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that the Bengals were offering 1/2 mil, but they might come alittle higher. Since we cant "interview" him till next week, it might get interesting if the Raiders fire Cable, or if Jack Del Rio bolts for USC, then Zimmer might look for that head coaches position.
