The Bynes signing earned a ton of rave reviews.

Why not? He’s a 30-year-old veteran who is stout against the run on a two-down basis. He hasn’t played a ton of snaps over the last few seasons but he was one of the best linebackers still available.

While Bynes isn’t going to move the needle in amazing directions, he’s an upgrade on Nick Vigil and could form a nice crew if the Bengals get a solid rookie in there too.

Grade: B
