So yes I'm going to blame Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis both for allowing those players on the team.  They typically worked out.  I'm guessing you didnt see the interview where he was asked about giving guys like Pacman 2nd chances and he said he learned from his dad to give 2nd chances....so maybe I'm incorrect in saying that Mike Brown gave approval to those players being in the locker room.  

Mike also brought back Chris Henry not long after Marvin washed his hands of him, and said he'd never be back in Cincinnati. You're exactly right, Mike was the king of second chances. The only question there is ....was it because they were cheaper, or because he truly felt sorry for them? I tend to lean toward the former.
