Leonard Floyd being released prevents the Bears from fully guaranteeing the fifth-year option that previously was exercised. https://t.co/yTC5dHmjAU

I don't know much about Floyd, but this is exactly the type of players Bengals look at. Former high picks with starting experience.
See: Manny Lawson, Thomas Howard

I've lived in Chicago the past 14 years, so I've followed the bears.
Floyd is a bust. He's hasn't contributed lined up across from Mack on a well coached Bears D, doubt he turns the corner for us.
I'll pass.

there is that cap casuality #1....
Floyds stats look pretty good... Maybe not good enough for the 13.2 mil his was due... but could definitely be a solid rotational piece for a team.

Floyd is the answer to the question no one asked. Hard pass.

Depends on scheme and use; as a rotation piece, I'd be cool with him.
He's not even going to sniff 5 mil a year, let alone 13.2 wherever he goes, so it wouldn't be a lot of money either.

The Lions are apparently releasing LB Devon Kennard. I don't know anything about him aside from posted stats which seem decent. He has also had 7 sacks in his last two seasons. So he looks like an interesting prospect on paper.

A young high first round pick? Less than 5 mil? Doubt it

Insurance in case Lawson gets injured again. I know you don't put much weight in labels, but I think he is more of and edge rusher than OLB.

Who was the last free agent LB the Bengals signed
Whose better days was ahead of him ?
Dhani Jones?
Sure wasn't Kevin Hardy or Preston Brown
They need to sign a LB who still has ceiling to reach

Exactamundo. I bet he gets at least 8.
Not a great finisher in the pass rush, but sets a good edge, can play in coverage a bit, and a good character guy (so they say). Guys with his versatility don't fall out of the sky. He'd be an upgrade on Vigil and would allow Anarumo to be multiple the way he wants to. I'd like to have him.

Floyd would be good in a rotation with Hubbard and Lawson in our hybrid 3-4.
Wouldn't mind bringing him in even if I think we need a LB more like Pratt more than another OLB that can rush the passer.

How would he be an upgrade to Vigil?
