Cincinnati Bengals: Considering Greg Little Again?
Many of us should remember the Bengals and Browns game on Thursday Night Football. Greg Little getting into back and forth, head butting cornerback K’Waun Williams, which ultimately caused a dumb penalty for his actions. So, rightfully so, the Bengals let him walk at the end of the season. Well, according to sources and Rand Getlin’s twitter account, the former Bengals wide receiver will be back to work out for the Bengals for possibly another go around in stripes:
WR Greg Little will work out for the #Bengals later this week, sources say. Looking for depth after waiving James Wright.

What does that mean? Maybe head butting another Browns player on national TV for a personal foul. It doesn’t help when your team is trying desperately to climb out of a hole they dug early. Greg Little’s attitude was less than favorable and his play was was not something to boast about either. He had six catches for 69 yards in six games. He mainly took up a cornerback, as he was only targeted 12 times last season in six games.
Greg Little had his best game last season against the Ravens in week eight of the regular season. He had three receptions on five targets for 42 yards and no touchdowns in six appearances last season. He was also a healthy scratch late in the season when A.J. Green was back in the line up and before Dane Sanzenbacher went down.
The Bengals signed Little after A.J. Green went down in week seven for depth. The organization deserved more than what Greg Little has to offer. Even if the Bengals were to reach a deal, it would not guarantee him a spot on the active 53-man roster. He would still have to make it through camp and win the position battles looming between Brandon Tate, Denarius Moore, Mario Alford, and Cobi Hamilton.
So what are your thoughts Bengals Nation, would you like to see Greg Little back in stripes next season?
