A few questions were answered Friday when Taylor Mays re-signed with the Bengals after a year hiatus.
“When you have a guy like that who can play safety and nickel linebacker and can do a lot of different things and help Darrin (Simmons) on special teams, he’s a good guy to have,” said defensive coordinator Paul Guenther. “He’s a value.”
So that’s why the team did it. And this is why Mays, who agreed to the deal last month, came back to the team for which he played 50 games from 2011-14.
It seems he was a very interested observer of the Wild Card game against the Steelers and living and dying while watching guys like linebacker Vontaze Burfict and cornerback Adam Jones.
