Simpson was a good come up story imo. Ended up a starter his last few years and gave us a memorable play at PBS.
Also the narrative that players hate playing for the Bengals has always been weird to me. Bengals are known to give out player friendly contracts but we are also known to TRY and keep guys the duration of that contract. Even when it’s clearly hurting us. Mike may not know how to build a football team(That’s more a coaches job anyway) but he does give out money when it’s earned and he usually won’t cut you even if your play declined in the last few years of your contract.
