No, not the receiver, the LB. He was just cut from Oakland, and depending on the cost, may be worth a shot. He was a damn good cover linebacker a few years ago in Denver.

I guess I'd kick the tires solely because of how bad/thin we are at LB, but I wouldn't be looking for anything more than a veteran body in doing so... which is basically the same opinion I had on the guy during free agency.

Many were upset Tobin did not go after him.
Does that make Tobin right and fans in this forum wrong since he was cut?
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

I know nothing of coney…. and haven't seen him play so I cant say... Coaches will get it figured out or we will be playing a lot of nickle and dime defense.

I get the sense the Bengals want faster LBs than someone like Coney (or Deshaun Davis). Many considered Coney a 2-down thumper. If the Bengals plan to play just 2 LBs 80% of the time, there may not really have been any opportunities for Coney.

I get all that. I'm just trying to provide some logic as to why they might not have gone with him. He's not overly athletic or fast and he doesn't make a lot of splash plays. He was a very sound tackler and leader at ND though. But if you want a 2-down thumper, you might as well go with Teo, who is also still available. Teo performed better than Coney in college and is still only 28 years old.
