The Bengals kept their week of free-agent surprises rolling Friday when they didn’t have to leave Cincinnati to find a tag-team partner for linebacker Vontaze Burfict and inked NFL leading tackler Preston Brown, according to reports.
Here’s evidence that the reports of Tez Trade talks were bogus. The signing of Brown, the ex-middle linebacker for the Bills, allows Burfict to stay at his preferred spot at WILL and has the coaches excited about teaming the two in the middle of the field. It gives them two NFL tackling champions, a title Burfict won in 2013 at WILL in a Pro Bowl season.
