Trent Brown scheduled to meet with Bengals, per report

Photo by Bryan Bennett/ The Bengals offensive line could be getting some big help. The Cincinnati Bengals are currently without a starting-caliber right tackle after Jonah Williams opted to go to the Arizona Cardinals via free agency after being forced to switch to right tackle last season. It now appears the team may be looking to fill his shoes with one mountain of a man. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bengals are hosting Trent Brown for a visit on Tuesday.

Teair Tart and Mekhi Becton appear unlikely to sign with Bengals, per report

Photo by Wesley Hitt/ Both players are coming off a visit to Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Bengals likely won’t be signing Teair Tart. After hosting the free agent defensive tackle for a visit last week, it looked like Tart was very close to becoming a Bengal. However, Paul Dehner of The Athletic and The Growling podcast reports that Tart is unlikely to sign with Cincinnati. “It certainly sounds like Teair Tart is not going to happen,” Dehner said, later adding, “Tart’s probably not a match” for what the Bengals are looking for. If true, then the Bengals are...

Steelers getting cold feet on Tyler Boyd?

Photo by Mark Alberti/Icon Sportswire via Boyd may not join the Bengals’ rivals after all. Longtime Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd will be playing football elsewhere this upcoming season, and ever since free agency opened, his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers have been the reported favorite. However, a report from The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly indicates that the Steelers may have other plans. “Some people (not all) inside Steelers not 100% on board with signing Tyler Boyd,” Kaboly tweeted. “There is still time to work things, and everything is still on...

Sheldon Rankins officially joins Bengals and has introductory press conference

Cincinnati Bengals “We got all the makings to make that kind of run again.” The Cincinnati Bengals announced Monday that they have officially signed Sheldon Rankins to a two-year deal. The deal was previously reported to be worth $26 million. At 6-foot-2 and 305 pounds, Rankins is a ninth-year player out of Louisville who was a first-round NFL Draft pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2016. He spent five seasons (2016-20) with the Saints, two (2021-22) with the New York Jets, and then spent the 2023 season with the Houston Texans. Rankins has played in 109...

Nose tackle NFL Draft prospects for the Bengals

Nose tackle NFL Draft prospects for the Bengals

Photo by Chris Leduc/Icon Sportswire via It is impossible to replace DJ Reader, but that is what they have to do. Many fans call DJ Reader the most important player on the Cincinnati Bengals defense. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo calls him the best player in the league at his position. We can all agree that losing him in free agency was a huge blow, particularly with no obvious replacement waiting in the wings. While there are a number of interesting prospects at three-technique, this year’s NFL Draft provides few options at nose tackle. Here are my top choices...

Bengals coaches check out Illinois’ Tip Reiman

Tip Reiman | Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Reiman appears to be on Cincinnati’s radar. Call it due diligence, but there appears to be another tight end on the Cincinnati Bengals’ radar. The Bengals were one of two teams on hand for Illinois’ pro day to get a look at former Illini tight end Tip Reiman, according to Tony Pauline. At 6-foot-5 and 271 pounds, Reiman ran a 4.64 40-yard dash at the 2024 NFL Combine. He is more of a blocking prospect and is projected to be a low Day 3 selection or an undrafted free agent. Reiman had just 19 catches last year, but three of...

Bengals TE Drew Sample discusses contract extension and his blocking prowess

Photo by Ian Johnson/Icon Sportswire via The elite blocking tight end inked a new three-year deal with the Bengals. Tight end Drew Sample will stay with the Cincinnati Bengals, the only franchise he’s ever played for, as he agreed to a three-year extension with the team in the opening days of free agency. The 27-year-old tight end was drafted by the Bengals in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Washington and has played each of his first five years as a pro in the Queen City. “We have a house here. We live here most of the time. We were able to bring...

Steelers steal quarterback Justin Fields from Bears

Photo by Patrick McDermott/ The Steelers have a completely new quarterback room than last year after a flurry of activity. It appears the Cincinnati Bengals will see a few new faces at quarterback fielded by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have traded a conditional sixth-round pick that gets elevated to a fourth-round pick based on playtime to the Chicago Bears for quarterback Justin Fields. Safe to say that was another major steal for an AFC North team at the expense of the Bears. This move comes just a day after Pittsburgh sent former first round quarterback...

Bengals outbid Texans to land Sheldon Rankins

Bengals outbid Texans to land Sheldon Rankins

Photo by Cooper Neill/ The Bengals desperately needed some defensive tackle help, and they paid what was needed for Sheldon Rankins. The Cincinnati Bengals struggled in the interior in 2023, especially with the players behind DJ Reader and BJ Hill. When those two were on the field, the defensive line played pretty well. But anytime the backups came in, opposing teams could run right up the middle easily. The Bengals may have let Reader go, but they are still working on improving the interior with the addition of Sheldon Rankins. Not only did they sign Rankins, but...

Mike Gesicki is excited to play with the QB he helped Bengals draft

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports Remember when the Bengals and Dolphins played for the No. 1 overall pick? Mike Gesicki remembers. Way back in December of 2019, the one-win Cincinnati Bengals played the three-win Miami Dolphins in a game that could have determined who got the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. All while this was happening, Joe Burrow was having the greatest year for a quarterback in the history of NCAA football, and by the end of the year, it was clear he would be chosen first. The Bengals luckily lost a wild game, 38-35, in overtime. In that...

Photo by Andy Lyons/ Hudson is coming off a breakout campaign with the Bengals. The Cincinnati Bengals have re-signed Tanner Hudson to a one-year contract extension through the 2024 season, the team announced Friday. Hudson was one of the best feel-good stories of the 2023 Bengals. After going undrafted out of Southern Arkansas in 2018, Hudson signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he spent the bulk of the season on the practice squad before being promoted to the active roster for the final two games, though he did not appear in either contest. In 2019, Hudson made...

Free Agency Day 3 open thread and headlines

Photo by Al Bello/ The biggest headlines from yesterday and talking about everything going on today. The Cincinnati Bengals spent most of the day hosting a couple of big players in offensive tackle Mekhi Becton and defensive tackle Teair Tart. Unfortunately, neither of those guys could equate to the feeling of the team losing D.J. Reader to the Detroit Lions. Reader was the anchor to the middle of this defense throughout the turnaround when he was healthy. He was also one of the first big-name free agents the Bengals signed before the 2020 season. When he wasn’t out...

Did the Bengals make the right decision by letting DJ Reader leave for the Lions?

Photo by Perry Knotts/ A big loss in the middle, but the injury made this a tough situation for all parties involved. Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle D.J. Reader has landed with the Detroit Lions after signing a two-year, $27.5 million contract that includes $9 million guaranteed. Reader leaves Cincinnati after being a huge piece of the Bengals defense since 2020 and a large part of the recent turnaround we’ve seen from the franchise. Reader tore his quad this past December, and it has to make you wonder if the Bengals were hesitant to match Detroit’s...
