Sign me up.....I can't believe I forgot to add him to my hit list.

Therefore, he will take practice snaps from someone, take a roster space, and likely be very out of shape (like last year) when he does get to play. Combine that with a "light just never seems to go on" attitude and he can pound sand.
Good point. I think it's time to cut bait.

Some people seem to think he is going to come in and light it on fire, I hope he does, I really hope he does.... but my expectations are it will take awhile and the usual suspects here will be calling him a bust long before they are calling him a top corner.
I'm with you, there will most likely be growing pains. That said, we went 6-9-1 last season, and we have a lot of holes to fill. I feel we're in a bit of a rebuild mode here. May as well let the youngsters learn.

It's not that I don't like him (I'm actually a pretty big fan,) but he doesn't have a starting position on this team. The NFL has changed and the Bengals employ a base nickel defense, which means Rey is on the bench for over 50% of the snaps. That's not worth the contract that he has.
Spot on.
