Fortifying the Frontlines
Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Cincinnati Bengals are signing former Packers defensive tackle TJ Slaton.
In his four NFL seasons, Slaton has amassed 134 tackles and two sacks in the middle of the Packers defense. While he is not a star, he had been a consistent force for this unit, playing 68 of 68 games since entering the league as a fifth round pick out of Florida.
