Came back from a 2015 season ended by injury and had Julio Jones put up 300 yards on him in week 4 last year. As long as we're not asking him to cover the other teams #1 every game, he's a solid pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think teams thought less of him at the end of the season than they did immediately after watching him get torched by Jones and being named worst player in the NFL?

I'm sure the Marvengals signed him because he has a lot of po-ten-tial and may someday be truly mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's not like between October 10th and now he had a major injury, killed someone, or was caught hanging out in a hotel with Pac-Man. Or decided to become a woman.

Or we can go by the fact that he had 4 contract offers and chose Cincy and the team actually pitched pretty hard to get him. He wasn't just some no talent hack that no one wanted.

It is a back end depth signing that actually has a lot of potential. There is literally no negative to the signing at all. Absolutely 0 risk with a potential reward of a starting slot corner that was free. Sounds like a good deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
