Bengals News: Favorable schedules, available free agents, and more
In Bengals news, how difficult is the schedule in 2023? Also, which available free agents could the Cincinnati Bengals still look to add?
Amelia Probst of PFF ranked the easiest and hardest schedules for the 2023 season. The good news is that the Bengals are in the top-half when it comes to easy schedules. The bad(ish) news is that they're ranked 15th on the list.
The Bengals could decide to add some available free agents to help them with their 15th-most favorable schedule but who is still out there on the free-agent market? The top names, at least according to Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report, are DeAndre Hopkins, Leonard Floyd, and Frank Clark.
