Manning has been around the NFL a while and is a veteran that a lot of defenses would love to have hanging around if for nothing other than experience. He’s had some down years and he’s far from being a lock down safety, but he’s still effective enough for the Bengals to be rightfully interested.

It’s unclear if a deal will get worked out or if there is any interest elsewhere for Manning but he’s probably going to find a job somewhere this offseason. Safety is a hard position to fill and it’s even harder to find a veteran like Manning who can be plugged in and show an up and comer the ropes.
