MORE LEIGH OLESZCZAK
In Bengals news, the first day of legal tampering came and went. Germaine Pratt re-signed with the Cincinnati Bengals while Vonn Bell and Jessie Bates won't be returning.
When legal tampering kicked off in the 2022 offseason, the Cincinnati Bengals struck right away, agreeing on a contract with Alex Cappa. This year, it took a little longer for them to throw their hat in the ring but they got things going soon enough.
The Cincinnati Bengals lost both of their starting safeties hours into legal tampering. What does this mean for the position? What will the position look like? That's what this post is here to do.
Hours after it was reported that Vonn Bell wouldn't be returning to the Cincinnati Bengals, Jessie Bates is also reportedly leaving. Ian Rapoport reported that Bates was signing with the Atlanta Falcons.
After Cincinnati Bengals fans were beaming with joy because Germaine Pratt is returning, the smile was wiped off their faces, as Vonn Bell is departing for the Carolina Panthers. Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero had the news first.
After a lot of speculation, the Cincinnati Bengals have managed to keep Germaine Pratt, signing him to a three-year deal worth $21 million. He'll get $10.35 million in 2023 and then over $15 million in the final two years combined.
The Cincinnati Bengals made a huge splash in free agency the past two years and it's paid off. The team has been so close to winning a Super Bowl in each of the last two seasons and they'll likely make some moves to remain as top-tier contenders.
In Bengals news, could the team be aggressive and make a trade this offseason? Also, isn't it hilarious what's going on with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens?
The Cincinnati Bengals have been fortunate that they haven't fallen into QB purgatory like many NFL franchises have done. Before Joe Burrow, the team had Andy Dalton as their signal-caller for nine years, and before him, Carson Palmer was taking the snaps
The Cincinnati Bengals might have had some talented players on the defensive side of the ball but they finished with the fourth-fewest sacks in the league this past season. Time to add Yannick Ngakoue.
Free agency kicks off next week and the Cincinnati Bengals will be looking to upgrade several aspects of their roster. One area that could use some fine-tuning is at cornerback and 49ers cornerback Emmanuel Moseley is someone the team should focus on.
The NFL Combine has been in the rearview mirror for nearly a week now and the highlight of the Combine is seeing how blazing-fast some of these prospects are.
In Bengals news, the team opted not to tender Mitchell Wilcox, meaning he can hit free agency and sign with whoever he wants. Speaking of free agency, it starts on Monday! We're so close!
The Cincinnati Bengals have the fifth-most cap space in the NFL, according to Over the Cap but that doesn't mean they won't make cap cuts to free up some space. After all, the team needs to issue extensions to Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins, and Logan Wilson.
This offseason is one of the most important offseasons in Cincinnati Bengals history. The team has made it to back-to-back AFC Championship Games and reached the Super Bowl in the 2021 season after winning just four games the previous year.
On Friday, Tom Pelissero reported that the Cincinnati Bengals would not be tendering tight end Mitchell Wilcox. He'll now be able to sign with whoever he wants in free agency, which kicks off on Monday with the legal tampering period.
Free agency kicks off with the legal tampering period and the Cincinnati Bengals would be foolish not to look into upgrading the right tackle. La'el Collins might not be the answer at right tackle moving forward so why not try to find his replacements?
The Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers both made it to their respective conference championship games but were on the losing end of things.
In Bengals news, the team re-signed linebacker Joe Bachie and cornerback Jalen Davis ahead of free agency. Both players were restricted free agents. Also, former Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson has a new gig!
