However, the coaches would really need to develop him as an edge rusher if they want him to do it more than once or twice a game.
I'd be hesitant though to take focus away from off-ball LB, as I didn't think he was good this past year. Also, the Bengals have both Bynes and Evans hitting FA and so many other needs to address in the offseason that they probably can't afford to move a LB to EDGE.
I thought about that, but was hoping Bailey would become the eventual starter at WILL, and we already have Wilson and Pratt as the nickel starters. They need edge presence, as you said earlier, a lot more than depth at LB and I don't see why it would disrupt his development. It would just get the most out of him.
