Thurman Reinstated

[gametime]

The Bengals announced Monday that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell informed the club middle linebacker Odell Thurman has been reinstated after a two-year exile for violating the league's substance abuse policy,

 

"Odell has met the NFL's conditions for reinstatement and has been added to our offseason roster," said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis in a press release. "It is now up to Odell to continue to meet all NFL guidelines, and to maintain a standard of personal responsibility that will allow him the chance to compete for a spot on our team."

Could be a huge help if he can make it back to 2005 form.

Finally some decent news. Hope he has learned his lesson(s), and still can perform on the field.

Heard the new defensive coordinator has told him that if the 85 does make it back on the practice field. His order is to destroy him!!! :fire:

IMO it was a crime he wasn't reinstated last year. He did everything that was asked of him and they extended it anyway.

Do we give him the benefit of the doubt and trust that he will be here all season? He has been pretty good for what almost 2 years now. He might be out of money and need to play. :lol: I guess we will see.

This is a great announcement for the Bengals. After having to play last year with a depleted linebacking core they get to add someone who was a great talent when he played to a group that showed something last year.

If this guy keeps his butt in line he could be a pro bowl player. Look at his numbers in his rookie year. I hope he still has it and keeps getting better!! WHO DEY
