1) His health - BOTH knee and concussion
2) If he's motivated
3) If he's suspended - BOTH PEDs and Personal Fouls
4) His actual play as he's been pretty bad this year.
That's a LOT to worry about.

Also he is still under 30 so it could be just a down year.
It's impossible to determine.
He's had microfracture surgery and a bunch of concussions. Those point to his play declining.
He's also being targeted by the NFL and trying to tackle different.
What I can't explain is why he just tackles a TE when the TE runs a route.
Further more the Bengals could make a trade like they get a third in 2019 and if Vontaz doesn't play a percentage of snaps by suspension or injury then they could give up a pick back in return like a 5th.

Not many teams would take on that kind of risk. Most teams view red flags as distractions to avoid. Thus Burfict went undrafted.
Teams wouldnt even spend a 7th Round pick to draft him.

With a new coaching staff next year i doubt Tez makes the team I’d actuallh bet on it

He used to be great, now he's not even good. I watched him closely during the Ravens game, and he was just jogging around. Not hitting, diving, especially tackling. His high speed was coming off the field for third downs, which half the time resulted in the Ravens converting. Thinking some people remember the previous VB games/season and apply that now. It is just not there anymore.
