He clearly didn’t have a shoulder injury in a season he put up 19.5 sacks.
That's exactly the point, you DON"T know. You don't know if they didn't sign him because they saw the same injury. You also don't know if Denver let him walk because they saw the same injury. But you and others are quick to use your 20-20 perfect vision to lambast the Bengals organization for not signing him because they saw something on an MRI they thought would hamper his already journeyman performance.
Can you ever admit that there might be a legitimate reason for things the Bengals do? Do you think the fact he is up for another contract might be the reason he's bringing this up now and saying he has no injury? And the number of sacks doesn't mean he wasn't injured, it just means whatever injury he might have didn't hamper him.
And maybe I am a homer, I'll own that, but that's just to counter all you so called Bengals fans who act more like Steelers fans in Smack Talk when it comes to discussing this team. it's actually quite amazing the Administrators and Moderators don't enforce the "Fans only" in Jungle Noise on some of you considering some of the comments made here.

Whenever I see "strikes again" I anticipate seeing a story less than nearly two years old.

I thought Cincinnati would have been the right move for me and they offered me a two-year contract and my agent was sure he could get me up a little bit more than what they offered so it would have been the most money I’d ever made with the most security. And that’s all I wanted was security and stability for my family. It was a gut shot once they pulled the contract offer, but I didn’t hear from anybody else about anything from the teams I visited about any shoulder injury because I never had a shoulder injury.”
This is old news from 2 seasons ago.

Lawson, Dunlap, Atkins, and Hubbard are all good players. Barret would have balled here in 2020 at the very least.

I'm not amazed.

I always have to remind myself that every dumb move they've made the past 5+ years led is to Joe Burrow. Correcting any one of those mistakes, from Ross, Ced,Whit and Shaq could've changed our faith. Hopefully now they start making good decisions...I know... wishful thinking. Same morons also got Burrow hurt

Oh please. This team has not won a playoff game in 30 years. They have not earned the benefit of the doubt. Quite the opposite actually. You’re not a better fan because you stick your head in the sand and act like they’re not being run by a bunch of clueless and incompetent morons.

Yeah, we’re not off to a good start. Allowing Michael Jordan to be a starting guard to protect your franchise is a clear cut case of incompetence. They either get serious and change their ways (I’m not holding my breath) or we will have Andrew Luck 2.0.

It was a mistake not to sign Barret it is not that hard of a thing to admit.
Ever since the Antonio Bryant signing they seem to be over cautious with medicals. Sometimes shit happens.

Gotta have priorities.

Taylor was the biggest of all the decisions that led to Burrow. That 2 win season was epically bad, worse in team history!
The fact that they kept him, even into 2020 is a sign that the mistakes roll on.

Not only him, we didn’t even change a single coordinator! What team does that after 6-25-1 in two seasons? It’s insane.

I wonder what these clueless and incompetent morons would do if the Texans offered them Watson for Burrow

Probably have flashbacks to Carson Palmer threatening to retire rather than play for them anymore.

It's also not that hard to admit that not signing him doesn't make a FO inept. It does appear we vetted him more than 29 other teams in the NFL and came the closest to signing him. What does that say about the rest of the league?
Folks just look for things to point to. Not signing a dude 2 years ago who was a spot starter and not know for his sacks is not a sign on ineptness. It's simple hindsight. Now drafting John Ross...

Who cares what the rest of the league does?
The Bengals could have signed an elite player on a steal of a deal and failed. They should be taking responsibility for it instead of making excuses everytime they get something wrong.

Who was this elite player they could have signed in 2018?
