And at one point, he was really close to quitting football

altogether when he was here. Glad to see him get PAID.
Just another idiot move on the part of Bill O'Brien to let him get away from the Texans.

Not bad for a 5th round pick. Keep slugging D.J.

It would be interesting to go back and look at that draft today, huh?

I remember reading that he was a pitcher in high school with an awesome fastball. I can’t imagine facing him on the mound, CC Sabathia like.

So glad to see our Tigers getting PAID in the NFL. I just hope Deshaun can get paid and stay upright.

Nose Tackles don’t get made to make tackles, they get paid to take on multiple blockers for LBs to get the glory... or so I’ve heard. Come to think of it, a NT told me that so maybe not.

Nose Tackles (good ones) generally take up 2 blockers via a double team on just about every play. It's a tough job with not many headlines, but none the less vital to the success of the defense. The fact that he now will become the highest paid at his craft in the league is awesome for him and his family, and it will be an awesome choice for the Bengals, as well, I imagine.

BOB is indeed an idiot but DJ far outplayed his draft status and what the Texans could afford to pay him this offseason.
So it worked out very well for both sides.
I'm so happy for him  ">">
