Released by the Bengals today. Went to NC State. Would be good addition to LB core. Why not?

143 tackles

80 solo

2 FF

2 FR

2 INT

29 Years old

Checks a lot of boxes

[Dingo_ate_Babies]

He’s also from High Point. Bring him home!

[trucpfan]

This addition would add so dam much to our current roster. It’s like the real missing piece.

I meant to type more my bad….

first and main reason we’re probably trying to add him his pff scores are high very high. Being that we value that much more nowadays I know he’s on our radar. His run stopping grades were like the highest of all LBs. That would have given us top graded plates at all three levels Brown then Pratt with   JC and Moehrig were definitely stopping the run this year with these monsters fully healthy. I hope we dangling some of that Clowney money at him we need him to solidify our defense.

add in the NC ties and we should be in play got his services

I'm not expecting it to happen, but we definitely need an upgrade at LB.  He fits the bill for sure

[L-TownCat]

This makes too much sense not to happen.

[kungfoodude]

Well, he would immediately be the best LB on the roster. 

Buuuut....he really doesn't fit the profile of what we seem to be doing. We are avoiding these older players and seem to be very attached to a youth movement.

I have heard he did not do so well last season and the Bengals fans were happy to be rid of him for what it's worth.  Said he looked slow.

I don't think it is so much how he played as that they are cash strapped with the current roster. See, Hendrickson, Trey.

[45catfan]

Yes, please.  Wanted to draft him years ago anyway.

[HeelsPanthersCanes]

Zero chance he's coming to this franchise right now, regardless of local ties. 

We are at least two years away from being remotely desirable for free agents and cut casualties.

But fun to play what if ...
