It's wrong because he didn't play any better than our current safeties, and our current safeties now have the ability to grow into their own role with a new coach. I will repeat that Nelson was not that good last season and he was let go at the right time. The only way he would have still been better here is scheme fit. That money could have been spent elsewhere. KNowing how the Bengals spend their money and don't overload into one position group, Iloka might have been allowed to go. They could have Hollywood accounted to where they didn't sign LaFell. One year hurt where the safety play wasn't even bad, at a position that isn't valued in our system, isn't worth it
