It might be time for the Cincinnati Bengals to make linebacker one of their top priorities in the upcoming NFL draft.
The Bengals are once again in a position where Vontaze Burfict's fate is in the hands of the league, much like it has been for the past three seasons. Burfict is facing a four-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's performance-enhancing-drug policy, and while he will appeal on the basis that he was on prescribed medications for a shoulder injury and concussion at the time, the NFL has historically declined to overturn most PED suspensions.
