He is 35 years old, one injury from probably being done for his career. If he gets hurt in LA, I almost but guarantee that he would be released, Do you think the Bengals would release him? Very doubtful unless it was career ending.
He went where the money was, plain and simple but he got a screwed contract with no future after one year.
Read the Katherine Turrell article that was posted on the first page. The Bengals offered one year, "up to" $10 million including incentives. He has $15 million guaranteed with the Rams, the deals are not even in the same universe. Also, his age has nothing to do with him being one injury away from the end of his career. All of these guys, on every single play, are one injury away from being done.
