They invested a 3rd in the guy and they are going to make sure he gets a shot especially since he did well last year for a rookie in limited service. I think our LB core next year will be Burffict Minter Vigil no matter what, if Foster is drafted Minter may be a one year teacher then we let him walk.
All of this is moot because I don't believe they have any interest in Foster.
The 1 year Minter Contract does seem a little suspicious to me.
Vigil did get some playing time last year as a Rookie, he wasnt horrible nor was all world flashing, I wouldn't say he is a lock as the starter.
Bengals do play a lot of Nickel with only two backers and 5 DBs, but it would be nice to be deep at LB and get actual value at the #9 rather
then reaching or trading back with 11 picks as it is.
