Here is the article about him after his 2017 season...not quite the ranking he earned last year while injured.  While he may not be a splash player like CJ Mosely, he is a solid, reliable MLB and the Bengals need stability in the LB corps.

I can get behind this. I'd say Brown is atleast Average to Above Average and he's a solid tackler WHEN HEALTHY.

IF he can return to what he was in Buffalo...he'd be more than adequate.

That said, he's not the fastest guy and he did grade out at 55.3 this past season which was the #75 ranked LB. That's bad. IF he's that for upcoming seasons, then it's a bad signing.

So...it all depends what Brown we get.

Here was his PFF blurb. They had him ranked the #10 free agent LB:
Rounding out the list is Brown, who joined the Bengals on a one-year deal before the 2018 season. Unfortunately for Brown, after playing 1000-plus snaps in four seasons with the Buffalo Bills, the injury bug finally hit as he missed nine games. A career-worst 55.8 overall grade in the shortened season means he’ll need to prove he still deserves meaningful playing time in 2019.
