The article you mentioned... "Preston Brown was demoted in Week 10. He’s now leaving town. The Bengals have cut the veteran linebacker and Cincinnati native, sources told The Enquirer. Brown started the first eight games of the season, before he was replaced at strong side linebacker by rookie Germaine Pratt in last week’s 49-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 6-foot-1, 255 pound linebacker compiled 54 tackles through nine games, which was fourth on the club. Brown signed a one-year deal with the Bengals during free agency in 2018 after spending his first four seasons with the Buffalo Bills. While in Buffalo, he posted a league-best 144 tackles in 2017. The Northwest grad never reached that level of production playing in his hometown. Ankle and knee injuries limited Brown to just seven games in his first season in Cincy. He registered 42 tackles and two interceptions in 2018. The Bengals re-signed Brown to a three-year, $16.5 million deal in March. Just eight months later, the team is parting ways with the 27-year-old linebacker and he'll go on waivers. Brown's dismisal means Cincinnati will have approximately $2.5 million in dead money on its books for the next two seasons. Brown departs Cincinnati with 94 tackles, two interceptions and one forced fumble in 16 games (15 starts). The sixth-year linebacker has 599 tackles, five interceptions and three forced fumbles in his career. Tuesday's roster decision paves the way for Pratt to maintain his new role as the squad's starting strong side linebacker. " New guy, Brady Shelton or ... FoolHardy Nickerson from the Practice Squad. Or snatch a guy from another team's PS per Mr Flu's suggestion? I guess that is a shake up for the linebackers, boy howdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 starting LBs wouldn't make any other team's roster, let alone start. The LBs are a way bigger problem than the OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 We should claim Hargreaves. It was laughable in the offseason when we gave Preston Brown a new contract coming off knee surgery when he was slow to begin with. Did they really think it would make him faster?
