As of right now, the Bengals have Preston Brown who is solid and good at stopping what's in front of him but he's not very rangy. Vigil was decent last year and I hope he keeps/improves that trend. With Burfict gone, it leaves a wide open spot for the third starting LB role. I don't really see Vigil taking that next step beyond "solid" so the Bengals really will need another solid-at-minimum LB to avoid the same issues they exhibited last year.
Says here that Preston Brown was having a great year in pass coverage, before his season got cut short.

Perhaps he can pick back up, right where he left off?
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
