The #Bengals are signing former #Vikings CB Mackensie Alexander to a one-year, $4 million deal, source said.

$4M for 1 year?  I thought that Mac had a chance to become one of our starting (outside) CBs.  And he would've (I assume) been able to make more than that.  So... I'm really surprised by this.  Why only sign for 1 year?  The guy is a starting corner in this league.  Hmmm...

F bomb...

So, they gave Waynes a huge deal and then gave Mack this deal? I guess I wonder why he accepted it honestly. I would have guessed he’d have more interest and would sign a better deal than this. Is it because of his knee?

[Guest]

I'm sure Waynes was in on the recruiting...

Youre telling me we couldnt come up with $4m and 1 dollars for our starting nickelback?  Guess we’re blowing up the D. At this point I hope we dont sign Griff and look into trading Barr.

Did the Vikes not offer anything?

Most likely going to have to take a first round corner now. Not really a fan of any of Fulton, Diggs or Terrell.

Blowing up the D? What about the big 1 gapper they just signed from The Ravens?

We can't assume Mac wanted to be here, would have signed here for as much or a little more or that the Vikings had plans for him outside of slot. 

It will be interesting to see where the Bungles will play him. He wasn't happy inside. 

All that said, I am really unhappy losing both Mac and Waynes...

I don’t know why this is surprising.  He’s a nickel corner (3rd most
snaps at CB on our team) who’s trying to get a starting spot.
