Bengals News: Ken Riley, Brian Callahan, and more

In Bengals news, Ken Riley is officially a Hall of Famer! Also in Bengals news, Brian Callahan was eliminated from the Colts' head coach consideration.

Riley played for the Bengals from 1969 to 1983, which was his entire career. He played in 207 games and totaled 65 interceptions during his career. His final season actually saw him being named All-Pro for the first time in his career after he had eight interceptions.

Callahan interviewed with the Cardinals and Colts this offseason and even had a second interview with Indianapolis. He was informed on Friday that he was out of the running though. This means that he'll be back in Cincinnati next season.

Here's what's trending in Bengals news.

Joe Burrow's extension and more: Three things to watch for the Bengals this offseason [Ben Baby, ESPN]

I won't give away everything Baby touches on here but we all know the Bengals have some tricky decisions to make this offseason. How they handle these decisions could be the difference between the Bengals winning several Super Bowls and falling off once Joe Burrow's extension kicks in.
