Yes!

You're full of good news today, Pally!

I'm good with it IF: he's finally found some consistency in his career. He's struggled with that to say the least.

only bafoons would be mad about this signing

It’s good value compared to play, I think we still draft someone to compete long term.

That take immidiAte need away for 2022. Nice signing.

I think being CB 3 or 4 will help compared to 1b. Overall he played well given what he was asked to do. 

Good signing people hated on Apple last year but he played like a CB2 at times and he’s cheap. And yes he gave up a TD in the super bowl against the best receiver in the league 1 on 1. The Bengals can attack CB in the draft Apple can bridge the gap.

Nice. I like it at that price. I'd still be good with picking a CB in the first 2 rounds to compete for PT.

Got to mean the end for Waynes

Who ?

Returning all 11 starters on defense + our top Backup DT is a nice start to free agency .

All the more reason to like the move.  Eli knows the system but still has to prove himself on a 1 yr deal at a nice price.

Good signing for the money.  He's a serviceable starter and opens up the draft board but doesn't stop them from drafting a CB high or signing a quality vet.

Good. In the last several hours the Bengals have locked up players at a positions when there were concerns if there would be holes to fill. Apple isn't the best by any means but it gives the Bengals some breathing room.

Glad to have him back. It would have been a bad move for him to leave. 4 mil and he gets to keep reviving his career.

His play on the field was ok. I wish he'd get rid of twitter.

I remember the TD ball during the SB and people complaining. I honestly have looked at that play and really didn't see how he could have defended it any better. Good signing.

He seems like the most hated Bengals by other teams. I doubt there was much interest.

Guess they can count us out for upgrading at CB#1.  No more Gilmore talk.
