"Yesterday, the Bengals brought back a player that as recently as a year ago they had no further use for. A guy who underachieved his way through his first couple seasons here, then as he developed had injury issues that persist to this day. Andre Smith left for Minnesota after last year, where he missed 12 games with a torn triceps. The Vikings didn’t think Smith was important enough to keep, even though he’s just 30 years old. He hasn’t played a full season in four years. In his eight years as a pro, Smith has played a full season exactly twice.
The Bengals potentially will play Smith at right guard. He’s never played guard in the NFL. They label this “flexibility.’’
It's true. We drafted his replacement in 2015, and now we're bringing him back in 2017 to replace a guy who we kept rolling money over to re-sign who we didn't re-sign.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
