March 14, 201313 yr I sure hope he signs a long term deal with the Bengals. The Steelers are signing back of the roster former Bengals this off season. Maybe he could replace James Harrison?
March 14, 201313 yr Yes. Ray is a step slow and a little stiff. I think that he was too stupid to play MLB in the NFL. I feel like Sam would be perfect and allow him to just react. He wasn't bad there as a rookie w/ Jones at MLB.

If the Bengals do resign him I think it will be at a discount and Rey will struggle to start barring injury.
March 14, 201313 yr If the Bengals do resign him I think it will be at a discount and Rey will struggle to start barring injury. I hope that he doesn't come back and I agree with you. If he does, however, it would have to be on the cheap and with knowledge that MLB is not his position. It is Mr. Burflict's.
March 18, 201313 yr Joe Reedy @joereedy Bengals have signed LB Rey Maualuga And Guru's worst nightmare came true.
March 18, 201313 yr Joe Reedy @joereedy Bengals have signed LB Rey Maualuga And Guru's worst nightmare came true. ...and it's a move like this that further supports my family room over spending $250 at PBS. Hope they put a spindle in Paul Browns coffin as often as this man has had to roll over in his grave. This organization continues to make it difficult to support them!
March 18, 201313 yr Nobody else wanted him wonder how much Mikey got him for. The Bengals sealed the deal on Monday. NFL.com's Albert Breer reported it's for $6.5 million over two years, with a signing bonus close to $2.5 million, according to a source.
March 18, 201313 yr Author Here is a good breakdown from Bengals.com: With Maualuga in the fold, here's how the Bengals currently line up at backer: Vontaze Burfict - 2nd year, 16 games, 14 starts: After playing MLB his whole life, took the league by storm with 174 tackles at WILL. Brandon Joiner - First year, 0 games, 0 starts: Undrafted out of Arkansas State, missed his rookie year when he served jail time for an incident stemming from his freshman year at Texas A&M. In 2011 he was the Defensive Player of the Year in the Sun Belt Conference with 13 sacks and 19 tackles for loss. Emmanuel Lamur - 2nd year, 10 games, one start: A WLB who runs extremely well for his size of 6-4, 230 pounds. His one start came in the playoffs. Rey Maualuga - 5th year, 60 games, 59 starts: Has started at both MLB and SAM. Aaron Maybin - 5th year, 48 games, one start: In stints with the Jets and Bills, the former No. 1 pick has never played SAM regularly. Dontay Moch – 2nd year, 0 games, 0 starts: The third-round pick in 2011 has been sidelined by frequent headaches, putting a screeching halt to his transition from college DE to SAM. He could end up moving back to DE if his headaches clear up. Vincent Rey - 3rd year, 34 games, one start: A WLB who rarely plays from scrimmage and is a core special-teamer. J.K. Schaffer - First year, 0 games, 0 starts; After signing as a free agent with Jacksonville out of the University of Cincinnati, he spent two weeks on the Tampa Bay practice squad at the beginning of the season before landing on his hometown (La Salle High) team's practice squad for the last eight games and playoffs. Projected as a guy that can possibly play all three spots, he was one of only four players to log 100 tackles in three seasons in Big East history.
March 18, 201313 yr Rey was rated as the worst ILB according to pro football focus. Another step in the right direction.

So, outside of Rey and Vontaze, the rest have 3 career starts between them? Hard to believe.
March 18, 201313 yr So, outside of Rey and Vontaze, the rest have 3 career starts between them? Hard to believe. I read they plan on signing Howard also.
March 18, 201313 yr Author Rey was rated as the worst ILB according to pro football focus. Another step in the right direction. In fairness it appears Ray is slated for SAM this year where he was decent.
