April 21, 200818 yr Finally some decent news. Hope he has learned his lesson(s), and still can perform on the field.

April 21, 200818 yr IMO it was a crime he wasn't reinstated last year. He did everything that was asked of him and they extended it anyway.
April 21, 200818 yr 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.
April 21, 200818 yr 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.
April 21, 200818 yr 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
April 22, 200818 yr This is great news out of Cincy. The first good personel news in a long long long while.
