Are any worth keeping?

To be honest, I didn’t pay enough attention to the Bengal’s D to reach many conclusions about how Speed fits in. But, my gut tells me that they’re gonna want/need to add someone who excels in coverage, and Speed is described as serviceable at best.

The good news is that there are a few prospective free agent Linebackers out there who can cover. The problem is that none of them are the kind of big names that a disaffected fan base will stand up and applaud Ballard for signing.

Speed is a FA and won't be back. If Ballard brings him back he should be fired on the spot.
