Report: Housh nearing a Bengals return?

If the silly season of rumors hadn't officially started before Thursday afternoon, it has now.  The National Football Post, former GM Mike Lombardi's site, has a whopper.  Now we'll just have to see if they are right. 

They say there is a 70% chance T.J. Houshmandzadeh returns to the Bengals, as the two sides are nearing a deal.  That would rob the market of our top-rated wide receiver.  I suspect Housh could get a bigger payday if he waits, but it just goes to show that all the disgruntled talk in the world doesn't matter. 

Houshmandzadeh seemed unhappy with the organziation before, during, and after the Bengals season.  He could certainly find a more successful organization elsewhere.  But as re-signing Raiders Nmandi Asomugha and Shane Lechler already proved: money talks.  Duh.
