He can get better in coverage here no problem, way better tackler and the contract is good in that if he sucks we can cut him and
save millions in a couple years. I like it myself, good player that allows us to unload Kirkpatrick's salary and tackling issues.
Completely agree. It was almost a wash for Dre's contract and it is obvious that the Bengals wanted a significant upgrade in their outside tackling. They didn't just go to average on that measure, they went to near the top of the CB class. And while facing the likes of Lamar Jackson and (can anyone else see the steelers drafted Jordan Love, putting him on the "juice" and trying to make him the next Mahommes?) Mayfield?
It seems odd, also, that for the "overpayment" of Waynes, they absolutely stole Alexander in the slot CB position...a position that I think is even harder to fill than the outside CB.
