we have the worst center and bottom 5 tackles and yet Bleacher Report also says the one player we must replace for next season is....
VONTIZE BURFICT
Burfict is a damn good football player. He's also a major distraction.
How the Cincinnati Bengals handle him moving forward will depend on whoever they hire as their new head coach.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, current head coach Marvin Lewis plans to step down after the season. Lewis, who has spent 15 seasons with the organization, will leave a major void in Cincinnati's locker room once he departs, as he created a culture that allowed players such as Burfict and Adam Jones to thrive.
A new coach may not be as lenient on Burfict.
Cincinnati signed the 27-year-old linebacker to a three-year, $32.534 million extension this past offseason. However, the Bengals can save $6.91 million in cap space by releasing the oft-maligned defender. By doing so, the incoming head coach would send a strong message to everyone else on the roster.
