Understanding a system is very important and it does not happen always over nite. I think most teams like to retain players that add value to their team in house.. Rey does that and the Bengals would be correct to retain him... for a fair market price. The problem is some on here act like he is Terrible and we should pay him nothing.. that is the problem.
Chad was not exactly known as a braniac, so you might want to come up with another example. If someone can't learn the playbook between now and the start of the season, then they don't deserve to be on an NFL roster. Part of "adding value" is having a salary that is commiserate with your abilities. A limited, backup linebacker is not worth $5 million per year.
