He's a good player, I just dont see the reasoning?

I posted a link on a post about him specifically that reported the Vikings were shopping him.

As far as the money goes, he would be a big hit this year (Bengals have LOTS of cash left this year, but not as much cap space) but it basically averages less than $15 million per year and that is way less than top tier DEs are getting.  I still see him as a top tier DE and he would be basically a two year rental and then a compensatory pick when he leaves.  

I am not ready to just rely on Ossai coming back healthy.  They need more pass rush.  Maybe the draft will supply help there, but I liked the idea.
