The Bengals have a big need at linebacker, at least for the first four games of next season.
Vontaze Burfict has been suspended yet again, this time for failing a PED test that will cost him the first four regular-season games.
While the team did sign Preston Brown this offseason, he can only do so much for a unit that doesn’t have any other reliable linebacker heading into next season. And Preston is only under contract through this season, so this could really become a gaping hole if he heads elsewhere next offseason.
