him in and he made some nice plays when Reader went out. But these 2 were not good at all last year besides a couple of plays.

While I somewhat agree with that sentiment, it would have to be someone who is ok with being DT4/5 on the depth chart.
Usually those backup DTs aren't refined anyway, so you'd be taking a gamble on someone regardless.
At least Carter and Tufele know the system.
Anyone coming in new would be learning from the beginning of the season, which I don't see happening.

And if the thought is a veteran, it would have to be someone arguably washed up looking to just be a rotational guy on a contender.
I'm not sure the Bengals would be willing to go that route while trying to figure out Chase's (and Higgins's) new contract(s).

I don't know who has such a glut of IDL talent that they'd be cutting someone with real good potential that the Bengals could pick up.
