Bengals Sign Maurice Purify (DUI, Assault, Disturbing the Peace, Probation Violation)

The Cincinnati Bengals are doing their best to keep up with stereotype of a franchise that lacks morals. After declaring that they weren't going to bring in more problem guys, they are doing just that.

Today, it was Maurice Purify ... an undrafted free agent from Nebraska. The Bengals signed the receiver to a two-year deal after he (apparently) wowed the coaching staff during last weekend's rookie minicamp.

Purify has had his fair share of run-ins with the law which include assault, resisting arrest and DUI. Use of alcohol may put him in more hot water as it violates his probation.

This comes on the heels of the team drafting Jason Shirley who was previously best known for driving his car (while drunk) into an apartment building.

And so it goes for the Bengals who, it seems, just will never change their stripes.
