Perhaps the most fascinating name on this list of potential fits for the Bengals is cornerback Morris Claiborne.

Claiborne was the sixth overall pick of the Dallas Cowboys in the 2012 NFL Draft, but has never quite reached his full potential.

However, in 2018 with the Jets, Claiborne put together the best year of his career. He posted single season career highs in passes defended with 14, interceptions with two, and total tackles with 57.

Though he is coming off a productive season, Claiborne likely would be obtainable at a fairly cheap price. He also would hold in season trade value if the Bengals fall out of contention and feel the need to obtain more draft picks for 2020, Thus, signing Claiborne could be a wise business decision for Mike Brown and company.
