The free agency period is as much a time for players who have fallen out of favor with their original team to try and revive their careers somewhere else. It isn’t all just the big-name guys getting paid.
We are now officially going to see cornerback Darius Phillips suiting up somewhere else after spending his first four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. He is headed to the Las Vegas Raiders on a one-year $2.25 million deal.
Phillips was a fifth-round selection back in the 2018 NFL draft. He was taken during the last Marvin Lewis era draft class that seemed to have promise from top to bottom.
