A solid depth addition at edge rusher, giving Cincinnati a low-risk upside play. Five headlines covered the move, signaling mild buzz around a former second-rounder finding new footing. The key signal: Foskey was a $8 million Saints investment who never fully developed, suggesting untapped potential. Fans are cautiously optimistic, hoping Bengals coaching unlocks what New Orleans could not. If he contributes as a rotational pass-rusher, this signing quietly pays dividends for Cincinnati's defensive line.

This signing grades out as a bad deal for the Cincinnati Bengals — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Isaiah's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL DEs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DE market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Isaiah is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
