The Facts: The Bengals are looking to replace T.J. Houshmandzadeh, their most consistent third-down receiver with another veteran. Team officials are waiting for Coles to fight through the East Coast snow to reach Cincinnati on Tuesday for a visit.
Diehards Line:Coles has played all but two of his nine NFL seasons with the Jets and has 631 of his own career catches for 8,095 yards, 18 more catches than the guy, Chad Ocho Cinco, that he would play opposite. Worth noting: The 5-11, 193-pound Coles has a career yards per catch of 12.8 compared to Houshmandzadeh's 11.4. Coles, who has already visited Buffalo and, according to published reports, has been ruled out by the Dolphins, is reportedly seeking $6 million per year.
