How old is Richardson again?

I like Maurice Hurst if the Phins don't grab him cause he is young.

I'd prefer Hurst, too. Richardson is/was a beast, and he'd be a good pickup if we were in a "win now" mode. But we're in year 3 of a rebuild. It's better to go with youth. I'll make an exception for Mike Daniels. He's become my favorite Bengal on the defensive side of the ball.

It's all subjective, but; you like Mike Daniels more than Jesse Bates?

He is only 30 years old. That is not old.

He may not be old, but he's had 2 resisting arrest incidents, been suspended for failing a piss test, and while smoking weed was caught street racing with a 12 year old and firearm in the vehicle. The perfect shit storm of Jeremy Hill, Vontaze Burfict, and Pacman (all with considerable baggage) throwing away the last big game we've played in has soured me on the Sheldon Richardson types.

Maybe I should have said favorite personality. Have you seen any of his interviews? Mike's a really fun guy. 

Bates is by far the best player on our defense.

Yeah... Daniels is super likable for sure. Besides he and Bates, I actually like a lot of the guys on defense. Vonn Bell (OSU homer, and I've been aware of him since his high school recruit days) definitely endeared himself to most of us last December. Hubbard, Reader, ADG, and Wilson all seem like pretty good guys as well. They're quiet, humble, and work hard. I wish we had the staff on that side to bring out the best in them.

I agree. One the most likable Bengals ever was Bobby Williams. His locker room interviews were the best! His smile was super infectious. (Can we say that in the AGE OF COVID?)

But no thanks lol

The Bengals may not need a guy like Richardson.
Ogunjobi will be 27 this Summer, so he's entering his prime.
If he does well this offseason, I could see the Bengals throwing a nice contract to him to keep him for an additional 2-3 years.
