Brown was extended March 13th. Taylor was brought in Feb 4th. That's awfully soon for that to be all Taylor, especially since the DC was hired Feb 21st.
Regardless, that poor choice was rectified when Brown was cut.... which falls in line with not KEEPING those guys around.
I didn't hate Brown, but he clearly wasn't going to fit a modern NFL LB corps, as evidenced by his short stints with the Raiders & Jags... both in 2019... and then being out of football in 2020.
Rather than stick with a bad decision, the Bengals realized their mistakes and cut bait quickly.
