That's not a bunch of money if he can shut down run games. Hopefully he is as good as some are saying because the Bengals defense could use an elite run stopper.
He is a one trick pony, like Peko. Nothing wrong with that though, especially in the AFC North.

His PFF scores are pretty bad. Granted PFF scores DT tough.
I do like his durability. The run stopping is nice. And it's not like we could pay $20 million a year for a guy. So I guess this fits into the budget in grand scheme.
They'll sign Ossai, then we'll start hearing how they're running out of cap space budgeting for Chase, Higgins, and draft picks.
I don't trust those PFF scores on a one trick pony run stopping NT. I trust the run stop win rate where he was 3rd in the NFL.
It is a good signing, like you say, not too expensive for a durable run stopping NT that can take up blockers.
Get Ossai and a couple Guards. Then we can go back to complaining about Chase and Higgins deals not getting done lol
