This for sure.  Doubt there is a bidding war, so he could make a lot of sense.

And he'd be moving just 2 hours down the road!

I am inclined to go with the line of thought that zero contribution from Hunt can't be worse than zero contribution from Werner.

Yeah bring Werner in Bengals. Fits us to a T.

And then Rex Ryan came along and ****** things up with his 3-4 defense for both Hughes and Mario Williams. 

Makes sense to bring in Werner or Coples on a prove it deal and see what we can get out of one of them. I haven't heard anything on Gilberry so unless they bring him back then they really need to go sign somebody to play Defensive End because Hunt and Clarke have proven they can't make any impact so far.

Looks like the Jags cut Werner today to get down to 75 players. So he's back on the market.

I always thought he fit our style of DE. I would be interested in bringing him in. Marvin does love his redemption stories. Cut Hunt and bring in this guy IMO.

Mine too.

If either Werner or Kruger aren't on this team instead of Hunt, then someone in the front office is being criminally negligent. Both significant upgrades over Hunt, and I really really REALLY don't want the Bengals being one injury away from Hunt being the starter.

This.  I would add that I don't even want to see Hunt as part of a rotation.  The guy has been given plenty of chances and just does not get it.

My dream scenario is Werner or Kruger replaces Hunt, Knighton replaces Sims, and a vet WR is brought in to knock off Wright.
