Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Boye Mafe is showing that he was well worth the investment as the organization's most expensive free agent of the new season.
Writer Matt Fitzgerald argues that the Cincinnati Bengals must fully embrace defensive end Boye Mafe's versatility following an impressive performance in Week 7's 35-13 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Signed to a three-year, $60 million deal in free agency, Mafe leads Cincinnati with 4.5 sacks and recorded 1.5 sacks and five pressures against Baltimore as the defense posted a second-half shutout.
Fitzgerald suggests defensive coordinator Al Golden should expand Mafe's role into coverage and diverse packages. Doing so, the writer contends, would maximize Mafe's impact while unlocking opportunities for young pass rushers Cashius Howell and Shemar Stewart.
