Bengals close to re-signing Pat Sims

Pat Sims has been among the least discussed Bengals in free agency.

That's about to change as Bengals.com is reporting that the Bengals are trying to re-sign the defensive tackle and a deal could be coming soon:

The Bengals are trying to close a contract for backup nose tackle Pat Sims, a deal that has been simmering for weeks since agent John Thornton lives in the Indian Hill neighborhood of Bengals negotiators Katie and Troy Blackburn.

Thornton said he could do the deal at the mailbox and why not? The Bengals like Sims' mail-carrier reliability stopping the run.
