Default Bengals released LB Brian Simmons
It comes as a surprise considering Cincy's thin LB group, but the warning signs were there. Simmons was due to make $3.3 million, couldn't stay healthy all season, and is recovering from knee surgery. He also wasn't a Marvin Lewis draft pick. The nine-year veteran should be able to get a job elsewhere.

What do you think about taking a look at him.

And he didn't have a criminal record.

(Or did he?)

If healthy, Simmons could be a very good fit in this defense having experience in the 3-4. He'd be the kind of veteran addition you'd expect the Pats to make, IMHO.

Looks like he would be worth a shot at ILB. The only problem is like all of our other LBs, he's on the wrong side of 30.

I agree that he would be worth a shot at the vet min or a little more.

Would be good stop gap. Same age as Fletcher-Baker.

That also means the Bengals may be drafting LB in the first.

Only a much better fit as a 3-4 ILB than Fletcher is.

Since he was cut he can be signed before the free agency period begins.
