This^^^^. I was really angry when the Bengals didn't resign him. Then I read that they offered him a huge contract but he wanted to go to Detroit for the same money. I believe his last two active years here he had 1800 yards. For the third and sometimes fourth choice in the progression, that is elite. I know a lot of fans overlooked him. I knew he was the real deal. I like who we have now but they aren't going to replace his production for awhile.
