Good news, I wanted ADG back. I know he struggled at times but he still has upside and if used correctly I think could be really good.

I am for bringing back Markus Bailey as well who always plays good.

Awesome!

Under-rated.

Glad he doesn't see the field much due to injury. Tons of value!

Who-Dey

Some days even special teamers get paid.

I'm glad to have ADG back. He's a good depth/rotational piece and Simmons likes him on ST.

I agree but I’d make Bailey maybe our last sign. With Wilson and Pratt having down years I’d like to see someone brought in to push them. Let Bailey walk and gimme Isaiah Simmons. High upside who’s fizzled out in zona. May be cheap-ish and I believe would push the LB room to play better.

1. Bailey knows the team/system better
2. Bailey's not as athletic, but has better instincts
3. This would be for the 4th LB position, so not a lot of capital should be used up.

Re-sign Bailey and then focus on other, more-pressing matters.

Given the Bengals schedule this year, and how much the opponents run the ball, I hope he gets used more.

Akeem is a coverage/rush LB, NOT a run stopper (he's basically at S weight) and stopping the run isn't one of his strengths anyways.

Cheap, I like it.

I think ADG could be just what you want actually, he is a good cover backer with range. Simmons is this, but I doubt we sign him
after the ADG signing. We just need to use ADG better, he has pass rush to his game and could be very good in blitz packages.

Completely agree Truck.
