TOUCAN Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I don’t know much about him. Does anyone know a Bengals fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylor made Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Former first round pick, he's played pretty good in Cinci with little pass rush. If this who they wanted instead of Darby I can dig it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A TRAIN 89 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 $14M/yr....$26M gtd. Doesn’t seem terrible. A good, young corner for 3 years. We did give old Josh Norman a 5 yr $75M deal after all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Good player. Was one of the classic small sample PFF darlings in his second year, not unlike his new running buddy Mr. Fuller. Numbers were off the charts that season, though he’s never really gotten back to that level since. He’s older than you’d think, as he only has 4 seasons in the league despite turning 29 in October. I think he has more value than Darby because he’s generally been pretty durable for a CB — pec injury that ended his rookie season before it started notwithstanding. And they paid him more than Darby got, so probably similar bang for the buck. Gun to my head, I’d probably choose Jackson for 3/$42M over Darby for 3/$30M. I think Jackson is the better player and he’s more likely to stay on the field for you, though you’re also taking the risk on a guy changing teams and schemes. That said, I generally hate spending big money on CBs. I also heard a lot of “team-favorable” fans suggesting it was smart to let Darby walk because teams with great DLs don’t need to spend on DBs. So I’ll be interested to hear some of their takes on the decision to sign an even more expensive DB.

lavar703 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Not sure how I feel about this? I’d rather have paid Darby and got a couple more players. It’s hard to question this staff when it comes to defenders though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they leave him on one side all day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta think the cap going down has something to do with that, I just don't know how exactly it all fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to have to go back to the video on this one. I really want to rail on the signing because of that, but that was a really weird game all around.

I didn’t watch a ton of Bengals (I can’t imagine anyone did), but everything I’m seeing in these highlight films people have put together has him very much primarily on the defensive right side. There are a couple plays where he travels, it’s always with the opposing 1 (TY Hilton, McLaurin, the kid Hansen who inexplicably blew up for a couple games for HOU in December). But I think that’s a little unusual, he’s almost always on the defensive right from what I’m seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiphoon Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Gonna be embarrassing when Moreland beats him out for starting outside corner. (channeling my inner @Jeezy Fanatic) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
