Cool, always liked Minter in college.

That was a good Defense in Zona.

Keenan Robinson and Minter would be welcome additions to our LB core.

Yeah, Minter, Burfict, and Vigil would be pretty interesting to watch. Robinson would be great to put out there with Vigil and Burfict on passing downs. 

These are guys who can still play. Wonder how many we can sign.

True, i think we could actually be good in coverage with these guys on passing downs.

Wish we just had a different LB coach. Haslett was disappointing to say the least last year.

hahaha great episode...    Mint berry crunch is the only hope against Cthulhu we have

Id like a deal for ANY linebacker that can cover the middle

LB play was bad last year. Problems in coverage were obvious to everyone, but I believe the LBs deserve as much, if not more, blame for our problems against the run than our D-line.

Pretty much. Burfict was our best LB, but it took him until after the BYE week to actually get back to what we expect from him. He had a slow start to the season and people tend to overlook that.

On D-line, we have Dunlap and Atkins. At LB, we didn't really have guys sifting through traffic or getting off blocks. They just tried to get in the way of the run.

It needs upgraded, and I think people have too high expectations of Vigil in all honesty.

Can we then release Rey M and send him far far away?

Correct me if I'm wrong but both of these guys are good coverage backers? If so either would be a good addition now another thumper with speed is needed. It just seems like Foster might be a pick unless their thought process is signing one eliminates the need to draft a 1st round backer?

Frankly I don't have a damn clue anymore what their logic and strategy is

He's ranked #39th Free Agent by NFL.com...

I wouldn't mind him at all, he's quite good against the run and has alright coverage skills, one of the up and coming players on that Cardinals defense. He will command at least $4m+ a year.

He was really good last year in Arizona but if we sign him we won't be drafting Foster or Reddick

The management on this team could f%>} up a wet dream. We aren't signing these guys unless they take the minimum

If they like what they see.....We may have to cut a rookie.

I'm gonna guess zero.

These guys are young. Maybe the Bengals have learned their lesson from Harrison/Hawk?

I could get behind either signing, especially Minter.

You've got that right! Even with all the salaries NOT paid to players who left , Mikey will not be able to find any cash to pay these guys. BUT HE SHOULD!!!

Rotoworld had this to say about the visit:

Quote:Free agent ILB Kevin Minter will visit the Bengals on Wednesday.
The ex-Jet visited Indianapolis on Monday. Minter is an average player, but has improved the past few seasons. He would get legitimate snaps in either Indianapolis or Cincinnati.
