Jetfan13 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Linebacker Aaron Maybin continued his saga as a NFL draft megabust on Sunday when he was released from the Cincinnati Bengals according to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com. The 25-year-old has now been cut by three different teams since being drafted in the first round by the Buffalo Bills in 2007. Maybin endured two seasons with no sacks in Buffalo. He looked a little better after being picked up by the New York Jets, notching six sacks in his first season with Gang Green. The Jets cut him after eight sackless games in 2012 and he signed with the Bengals this past offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelticwizard Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Pity. He really looked like he had found something with the Jets in 2011. What the hell-let the guy keep trying. Maybe he'll find that one system and Defensive Coordinator where he blossoms. It's happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets made the same mistake the Bills made and tried to make him an every down LB'er. Bulked him up to 250+, he lost that first step and bye-bye. Kid just can't carry the weight. If you just want strictly a passrusher OK. Problem is when you are in that role you most play ST's Maybin doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd need to start hitting it on specials to stick around. He may continue his career as a part time pass rusher, but without an everydown role and not a contributor on specials (I'm not sure why) he is going to be bouncing on and off of rosters and only be active situationally. Lack of practice squad eligibility doesn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of practice squad eligibility doesn't help either. Also what doesn't help is that after 5 years the vet's minimum salary jumps significantly.

Smashmouth Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Pity. He really looked like he had found something with the Jets in 2011. What the hell-let the guy keep trying. Maybe he'll find that one system and Defensive Coordinator where he blossoms. It's happened before. actually he still looked very awkward and stiff. The only time he ever looked even remotely comfortable was when he was rushing from the outside but he always went too deep into the backfield and tackles were always able to just guide him out there fairly easily as the QB stepped up in the pocket. He was a smaller version of Vernon Gholston and did not like to mix it up in tight spaces. Most of his sacks were coverage sacks with him doubling back to get the QB, I think maybe one or two were legit under 3 second sacks. This guy is an athletic freak who has no football sense in him at all he's just a terrible football player who plays awkward and is afraid of any contact he cant initiate.
