OTOH depth is good. The Bengals cheaped out last year, ditching Willie over peanuts, and then watched their alleged RT of the Future cough up nearly 10 sacks and blow out his knee. Can't you just see them letting Levi go, only to have Smith hold out of camp and then get hurt trying to rush up to speed in September? And Levi playing decently someplace else? It's the kind of thing that always seems to happen to this team. No matter what they do it ends up being the wrong call. Probably true. OTOH depth is good.

Jared Allen ran him off the field. I have absolutely zero faith in Levi Jones coming back as anything but a depth guy. The rookie will be better than Levi, though that's mediocre praise.

His $3 million salary is peanuts in NFL terms, the Bengals have plenty of cap space, and even if they get Andre Smith signed on time for camp, why start a rookie tackle if you don't have to?
