The Bengals will be paying their outside linebackers quite a bit in 2015 after the group struggled to produce in 2014.
A big reason why the unit's play dropped last year was Vontaze Burfict never being himself. Injuries limited him to about three full games worth of football before his season ended with a knee surgery. He's currently set to make $5.2 million in 2015, though he may end up opening the season on PUP. If that's the case, Vincent Rey will slide into his starting spot at weakside linebacker while making a nice $3.1 million in 2015.
