Bengals players react to Mike Zimmer's departure

Today is one of the happiest and yet saddest days for me. Happy Coach Zimm finally gets to be a head coach and spread all of his knowledge.

Zimmer is very similar to Parcells and will challenge everyone to be the best they can be. I love that guy and he will always be with me.
