You can't pay a guy $4 million to be a run stuffer at LB. It just doesn't work. His position has essentially been eliminated in the newer version of the NFL.
The funny thing about the Bengals is I remember Maualuga was supposed to be a 1st Round pick and fell to us. Mays was supposed to be a 1st Round pick and fell to the 49ers. I can think of other examples too.
Generally the league is right when these guys fall.
