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.

Absolutely.  Brown is still a young player.  He is a good MLB.  It's not a bad signing.  Injuries derailed him last season, and he still tried to battle through it.  Who knows, had he just sat out a while longer, he may have healed and came back and had a nice second half of the season.  However, with the way the backups played, we didn't have that luxury.  

Also, you never know, this signing could mark the end of Burfict's time here.
