as big of a contract as they did without taking this into account along with the rest of his career shows laziness and ineptitude. I thought
with him being a veteran and learning from some of those great players on the Ravens would mean he would at the very least be solid.

Stone has been a liability back there. Terrible in coverage and as a tackler. Like I said, Tycen should of started over him who shows good
things all the time and has the athletic ability to play FS.

While I get your point, Stone didn't sign a big contract really.

Bengals more likely had a budget they were willing to spend on a safety ($8 mill or less APY) and Stone was someone who fit the bill.

Stone is the 20th highest paid safety, less than half of what someone like Bates is making.
Make a budget signing, usually get budget quality.
