As always there is no such thing as a content Bengals fan. We had been praying for YEARS that the team would finally smarten up and move on from Brandon Tate. Erickson comes in as a rookie returner and has a monsterous year. I don't recall a single member of this board complaining about Erickson at all during this past season. The NFL is all about production. Sure, the Bengals may hold Core in high regards, but Erickson earned his way into the starting lineup and produced at a very high level. If we cut Erickson there is a 0% chance he clears waivers and gets signed to the PS, whereas with Core there is at least the possibility that he makes the PS and can be called back if needed.
