CINCINNATI — Carlos Dunlap calls Geno Atkins the “silent assassin.” Local reporters might call Atkins evasive.
The only thing more clear than the power of Atkins bull-rush is that he prefers to do his talking on the field.
And so far, that has worked out for him just fine. Atkins, 30, inked a four-year, $65 million contract on Tuesday that could keep him in Cincinnati until he retires, which he said was more important to him than testing the market.
