Andre Smith signed a contract with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday August 30, 2009. The original plan was to have Smith start as a right tackle, he missed three preseason games. While in Cincinnati he agreed to the deal just before the start of a late afternoon practice.
As for the Bengals, their preseason schedule will finish with a home game against Indianapolis in Thursday. As of right now, it’s not definite if Smith will participate.
Andre Smith was the highest unsigned NFL pick with one week left in the preseason. He was the sixth overall pick. His four-year deal includes a $21 million guarantee. After the 2010 season the team has the option to make it a six-year deal that will give him guaranteed $29.5 million. We wish the Bengals and Smith luck with the upcoming season.
