The Cincinnati Bengals struggled on the back end last season after losing Jessie Bates in free agency—and pushing Dax Hill into the starting lineup at safety. In free agency this offseason, they went out and signed Geno Stone and brought back Vonn Bell, immediately raising questions.
Or at least it raised one question: where does Dax Hill fit? The Bengals did everybody a favor by answering that question very specifically yesterday. And he did so despite the team not drafting any pure safeties, but while facing questions about the former first-rounder.
“It would be fair to Dax before everybody starts Tweeting it all out — he’ll be in the corner room right now”, he said, via the team’s website.
