Bengals coach Marvin Lewis considers WLB Thomas Howard "one of the most athletic linebackers he's ever coached." IDPers started to take notice as Howard led Cincinnati in tackles last season, So, also take note of the fact that his starting spot was solidified when the Bengals traded away Keith Rivers. The 28-year-old Howard is entering a contract season, and may be a candidate for a summer or in-season extension. He's due a $2.4 million base salary in the final year of his deal. So Howard should be tackling his arse off looking for that big payday.
