Again CB is the MOST difficult position on defense. 

The Bengals did NOT get a bunch of rookies, they drafted ONE to play this year and a project that may or may not make the team. They return 3 starters, 2 veteran backups, a practice squad player.

Low football IQ fans want to compare Apple to much higher paid CBs which is comically wrong.  Again, due to the difficulty of position and production over expectation and cost, Eli was one of the best options in the league.  

Teams replace CBs approaching 30 every year.  I do appreciate you helping to prove my point. 

Try to talk about fans and insult people's intelligence all you want. Some people state their cases without trying to insult other posters or be condescending. State your case without trying to talk smack. Do better.

The fact remains the Bengals choose not to retain the services of Apple and many of us agree with their assessment of the situation. You, I guess who think are a more informed fan, seem to think you know Apple's worth better than the Bengals organization. Chido returning from injury, DJ Turner, Safety Jordan Battle, and Dj Ivey all drafted. Free agents still out there. Sure, the rookies may not start, or even make the team, but knowing that, they still let Apple go out and be free to do whatever he wants.
