"He was drafted in the 2004 NFL Draft by Cincinnati after leaving college early to declare for the NFL draft. He was projected by many to be a possible first round pick the following year had he stayed in school.

The Bengals waived Askew during the 2006 pre-season shortly after he was arrested for resisting arrest earlier in the summer. During the arrest he was tasered [1]. Later he had brought suit against the city of Cincinnati, and charges were dropped."

I want to know how come no one ever talks about this guy as someone who is young, and that could possibly help our D-line? sometimes you gotta look at players like this to step up and live up to their expectations, and prove the Bengals they made a mistake in letting him go. I understand there seems to be a character issue when he was in Cinci, but it seems everyone who puts on a Cinci uni ends up in somet kind of contreversy. It sounds to me that organization is just ran by thugs, and they have no control over their players or coaches.

I kinda hope this guy end up being a factor, and maybe if he plays well, we can get something in return for him in a trade, or end up trading someone else that got their spot taken by him.

Let me know what you think about this guy, I dont know much about him.
