2. Rey was never as bad as some fans claimed, but he could have been replaced by now.
3. Michael Johnson is one of the top 30-35 DEs in the league and is paid accordingly. We could not replace his production for the same price on the free agent market.
4. Jones is one of our best CBs. He was actually one of the top 5 CBs in the league when he signed his current contract after the 15 season.
5. You must be a very new Bengal fan. Or else you need to have a talk with Kyle Cook, Deltha Oneal, Rudi Johnson, and Willie Anderson.
1. Bengal67 asked "why are they still here". Bodine just completed his 3rd abysmal season and he's still a Bengal, so...
2. Agreed. Especially after last season. He should be cut already.
3. Agree somewhat...although an upgrade would be nice.
4. Jones should be cut. He's an embarrassment.
5. The fact that you have to go back to 9 years ago for 3 of those examples (Willie, Rudi and Deltha were all cut in 2008) says something. Cook was cut in 2013.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
