He struggled outside, but played well once he moved to the slot last year. He will likely be cheaper than Dennard and Anarumo will logically want to bring in some of his guys.
The Bengals really need to bring in a solid RT, a LB that can cover, and a #1 TE in FA, as well as retain/replace Dennard. If we bring in a huge name at one of those positions, it's likely going to mean cheaping out on some of the others. However, big name FA's also help move tickets and they are obviously trying to build up the excitement level.
However, a word of caution is that FA's often do not perform to the level you expect them to. I saw a PFT article awhile back that pointed out that out of all the FA's that switched teams last year, only 4 made the Pro Bowl. Out of those 4, one made it as a return man and one made it as a ST's player, so only 2 position players made it. The odds of landing a top shelf performer are not great.
TE is kind of a wasteland in FA, our guys are probably as good as anything outside of Cook who I am kind of meh on.
I think a mid level RT like Jawan James is in play, see the Miami connection plus I think his price tag is serviceable.
LB is actually deeper than you’d expect. I don’t think mosley is in play and honestly I’m not a huge fan, but I think a Hicks or Wright could be.
