The Bengals will audition Greg Little later this week, sources tell Rand Getlin of NFL.com (on Twitter). The Bengals are looking for depth at wide receiver after waiving James Wright earlier today.
Little, who played three seasons for the Browns, spent most of last season with Cincinnati. However, the former second-round pick was cut by the Bengals back in February. Now, he could circle back after a season in which he had just six catches on 12 targets, for a total of 69 yards.
Little hauled in 61 passes for 709 receiving yards in his rookie season, but has seen his totals in both categories decline in each year since then. In 2013, he grabbed just 41 passes for 465 yards, leading to his release by the Browns. The Raiders claimed Little off waivers at that point, but also cut him later in the offseason.
As a Raiders fan if he couldn’t catch on with the Raiders when they needed all the help they could get, I simply don’t see him making the final roster with anyone else. And certainly not the Bengals.
