Update: Source says talks with Bills have concluded. “He’s going where he feels wanted and returning home to the #Bengals.” https://t.co/AhokM7AfnK

I'm not going to lie, I thought this guy might be one of Mike Brown's great nephews or something.

Dude's pretty good.  From Cincy, played at Louisville, and led the NFL in tackles last season.  Holy shit!  What is going on at PBS?

Another thumper to take out more Steelers.

If legit. This is a another good signing. Welcome "home".

According to an article I just read, the Bills have made it official.  They simply couldn't afford him, and he wanted to come here. They made him an offer.

Just seen on FB. Bengals proving us wrong. Time to shut up (finally). Can I get a well deserved "WHO-DEY!!?"?

This is a wow signing for me. I wanted this guy but thought no way with the Glenn and Eiffert money we could afford him.

What the hell are we going to do with a free agent LB under 35 years old?

Especially one who lead the leaghue in tackles last year?

Maybe our front office isn't as sure the Browns will never be good again, the Steelers are going to get old and fall apart any day now, and the Ravens will be 2-14 as we are?

Does this mean Blodine takes a vet minimum deal or takes a hike?

  Ya never know Nate.....

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

This is a good signing so long as it's more than a 1-2 year deal. He's only going to be 26 this season, so 4-5 years would be nice.

Good addition. Doubly so if it means either Vigil or Evans will now not be a starter.

EDIT: If this is a prelude to them trading Burfict to the Raiders, then they took one step forward and two back as far as LB talent goes.

Bills/Bengals Bromance continues.

One year deal, but I’m still happy about it.

Shit, I'll take it!  We get Glenn and Brown, they get our backup QB?  Sign me up....lol

[*Nate (formerly eliminate08)*]

I thought Gerald Hodges was more likely as he was cut. This is much better, Preston Brown is a great tackler, like Burfict.

Another great move by the FO!

Glad to see some who were cautiously optimistic are getting a little less cautious.

I am.

You know what they say:  If you can't beat them, join forces with another team that's done nothing in over 20 years!
