Dillon wants out of Cincinnati

Since I'm sure this doesn't belong in the breaking news section...

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Disgruntled running back Corey Dillon said Wednesday he wants out of Cincinnati, an outburst that represents the first direct challenge of coach Marvin Lewis.

The Bengals (2-4) have won two of their last three games by relying on their passing game while Dillon recovers from a strained groin, leaving the running back in a bad mood.

As he walked into the locker room on Wednesday, Dillon said aloud, ``I want out. Trade me to Dallas.''

3. The trade deadline has passed

It'll have to wait till next year.

Although I have doubts the Tuna would tolerate Dillon's me-first style. How is the 'Boys cap situation? Dillon costs an awful lot. What does Dallas have for draft picks to trade? Marvin Lewis won't let Dillon go cheap.

4. I think Troy Hambrick and a First Rounder would do well

and dallas has plenty of cap space, they were in hell two years ago, now they have money to spend :)

5. Corey Dillon has the staying power of a bad deodorant

He played at Washington as a junior, and it was his third college. I'm not even sure that he played at the same high school for all four years.

Since he came to Washington as a junior, played one season, then went pro, I wouldn't be surprised if he never earned a credit.

I was surprised he stayed at Cincinnati as long as he did. If I were a GM, I wouldn't take him on a bet, unless I needed to fill a half a season gap because someone else was injured.
