Former Bengals free agent Mike Hilton follows Lou Anarumo to Colts

Former Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton has finally done the predictable by joining Lou Anarumo on the Indianapolis Colts.

Those 3-0 Colts agreed to sign Hilton on Monday, reuniting the former Bengals defensive back with Anarumo at a time his defense is surging in ways that will look familiar to Bengals fans.

It was a popular theory amongst fans that the Bengals might re-up with Hilton since he was so readily available.

But those Bengals remain adamant on a youth movement under Al Golden, opting to go with Dax Hill in the slot and Cam Taylor-Britt and others on the boundary.

It’s early, but the Bengals have enjoyed mixed results as Golden gets the young guys on the field for trial-by-fire reps. That’s probably the shrewd move in the long run, though Anarumo going for veteran guys to round out what looks like an elite defense certainly makes sense, too.
