Seems like a nothingburger move.

27-year-old with 6 total tackles (4 solo) in 4 years with no other stats.

This is his 4th team in just 2020 alone.

Can he rush the passer? This team needs sacks.
They are currently 28th in the league at 1.4 sacks per game.

Tangent - The Bengals' two wins are against teams who have a worse pass rush than the Bengals.
TEN - 1.0 sack per game (30th in league)
JAX - 0.9 sack per game (last in league)

Maybe they are trying him at Lb, since they cut one and he has the size (on the lighter end) and doesn't look like he'll make it in the league as a cb.

I'm thinking he's just around for ST's depth, as with his size, he's probably a decent blocker on returns.

ST's pick up. Liked him at Utah but as TLL said, has done next to nothing in the NFL in his time.

Looking for a trade for a pass rusher speaking of Ocho's thoughts here. We have a little time to study up.

I'm not down on the pickup, ST's are important.  How long has it been since we had a return to the house?

We got close against the Titans there...

Wilson definitely has it in him and we can block well on ST's under Simmons.

Been awhile though, probably when Adam was here.

I was joking. He's a CB, I don't expect him to play edge lol.

You never said, and I never thought or implied that you said edge.  I just thought maybe you meant to put him in Nickle and blitz him, from his CB position.

Been our best pass rush all season.

Fair.
My intent was to joke that he play edge.
Epic fail on my part.

Well hell you get like one chance a game sometimes and I’m not talking shutout. We all know Ericsson isn’t breaking a punt.
