Boyd got a reasonable contract and never had injury concerns.
We paid the shit out of the guy who was 2nd in the league in sacks. Our entire team only had 3.5 sacks more than him. And people are pissed we didn't break the bank on our own guy. It's like bizzarro day in Bengal land where the fans are upset we didn't give out a giant contract to keep the same defense that was bottom of the barrel.
If I told any Bengal fan before last year our defense is going to suck and Lawson is going to lead the team in sacks with 5.5 and we are going to move on from him in free agency and instead pay the guy who ended the year top 2 in sacks the same money Lawson gets... They would love it.
But enough of this. I have to go complain about how too many of our new stud DEs sacks are hustle plays and he is garb.
