Funny thing... there was a FB link to one of the Bengals' pages about this subject.  I was amazed with the "we can't just bring someone from the oustide, they won't know our system" posts.  Then some people on this thread bring up "who would call the defense while Burfict is out"?  It's football people... I sincerely doubt the Bengals defensive system is that far out of the norm, that far beyond anything that a new guy has played in, that it would be impossible for him to pick it up.  People change teams all the time... it's not like you're asking someone to go perform surgery.

tell that one to Chad Johnson.. could not learn the NE system is what was heard around the league.  Understanding a system is very important and it does not happen always over nite.  I think most teams like to retain players that add value to their team in house.. Rey does that and the Bengals would be correct to retain him... for a fair market price.  The problem is some on here act like he is Terrible and we should pay him nothing.. that is the problem.
