But dude was considered a pretty good player when we signed him a couple years ago. What do you think are the possibilities that the Bengals may just think he's ready to play again and just roll with him this year? Do they possibly think he's better than what's out there?

I only ask 'cause I would've thought he'd be cut at the same time Collins signed his contract.

Also, if he does come back to the Bengals, how good do you think he'd be?

I certainly do not.

CB2: Apple
CB3 (slot): Hilton
------------------------

This is the eay it was all last year. IDK why some fail to grasp it.

For now:
CB4: Waynes (first boundary corner off bench)
CB5: Jalen Davis (Hilton's backup in the slot.
CB6: Open (Brannon a PS player).

Someone like Flowers could be brought back, but he is a niche guy and would be CB6 (taking TEs & big/sliw WRs). Another vet is possible, as is one (or two) early draft picks.

(03-21-2022, 03:18 PM)BrownAssClown Wrote: That's what I was kina thinking also.... if there's no penalty for holding on to him, might as well keep him around until they upgrade the spot in FA or draft a pick that would be a potential upgrade. I imagine even if they don't do those two things and want to  keep Waynes, they will try to redo his contract because he's making too much for being a CB4. Thanks fellas for the answers.
