You don't know that. You don't know what the team has done or plans to do.

Right now it is all he said, she said.

Burton may be batshit crazy, but his girl friend may be as well. I know I have had crazy hotties in the past that I would not touch nowdays, but dumb young me was not thinking with his top brain.

I agree there is a lot of smoke around the guy, but maybe one of his many bad decisions was a crazy girlfriend who decided to try and ruin his life?

Not just drafted him (only 24 picks after Burton's pick), but used 3 draft picks to trade up and draft him. Then benched Andy Dalton on his birthday in order to start Finley. Only to find out Finley didn't even have an NFL-backup-caliber arm which seems like could have been known after seeing him throw once. He couldn't even stay in the NFL for the preseason after we cut him, let alone not hang onto a practice squad.

Finley helped get us Burrow though.

He shouldve been cut after the missing walkthroughs and pajamas incidents. If this is completely true, this incident should easily be the last straw

Ryan Finley beat the Steelers.
He's a winner in my book!

Has has the actions and overall demeanor of someone that doesn't care. It would be surprising if the team and the players on it didn't try and provide him with help and mentorship. His issues didn't just pop up when we drafted him. They knew who he was.

Also, not necessarily wrong or illegal, but a 23 year old pro ballplayer messing around with a 19 year old seems questionable. He's living a grown man life (or should be) and chooses to spend his time with someone who's a year out of high school. It's not a huge age gap and it's not quite gross, it's just an interesting choice for a dude trying to exhibit some maturity. Hey, at least she was legal, I guess.

I'd prefer that the team not take chances on these kinds of players anymore. They don't need to. Honestly the Taylor era hasn't had a lot of these kinds of issues. If a guy on the team gets in trouble, I can forgive them if he has no record or reputation of turd behavior. When you pick up the rattlesnake willingly, that's less acceptable IMO.

The @Enquirer has obtained records of a call from a 19-year old woman accusing #Bengals WR Jermaine Burton of assault. She declined to press charges and none were filed.

Questionable character of a man at best. Piece of shit at worst. Probably not worth the time and effort to harness that skill, he doesn’t appear the type to work hard enough for long enough to maximise his potential. Shame about the 3rd? round pick though.
