Yeah, we have seen his peak and it was pretty darn good (though he has never shown the ball skills you'd like from a CB). That said, if you can bring back 2017 WJ3, by all means that guy deserves to be paid. I just want to see this year if he's going to be 2017 WJ3 or continue his dive of 2019 before you do so.

The Bengals would be a whole lot better for it if he could, so I hope he does.

The injury didn't help him, but that's also concerning in itself that he's only played 16 games 1 time in 4 years and ended the season on the IR 2 times in 4 years.
