Justin Smith

They franchised him last year, and while he did put up 102 tackles, he only yielded 2 sacks. I think they were just at a point where the team and the player just didn't match up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was pretty clear last year that they were not going to get a long term extension done...

By then they'll have a quarterback? Now they need to find one of those, and rid themselves of Martz.

 

yeah I mean to add that by then they will have dumped Alex Smith...

 

a FA acquisition would be ideal for them...

 

also Martz can give the offense it's much needed confidence...

He did a good job of that while in Detroit...

Justin is very good against the run, but has never been a very good pass rusher. Very durable and consistent player. Overall solid football player.

 

The reason the Bengals didn't resign him are primarily money related and secondly targeting a change to a 3-4 with more emphasis on QB pressure (or at least that's the rumor). If they do, they are betting heavily on Odell Thurman and Ahmad Brooks at MLB - to heavily IMO. No matter what, they will target the D line and OLB in the draft which looks to be very nice sitting at 1.9 to pick up a good player for one of those spots. Also, they will have an extra compensatory pick in round 3 to build on.
