BENGALS NOTEBOOK
GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- The Kevin Sargent signing has put the Bengals close enough to the salary cap that they probably can't lock up both wide receiver Carl Pickens and cornerback Ashley Ambrose in long-term deals before the end of the season, but the club is going to try.

Rafter relaxed and rising
