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.

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...

Tanner Hudson re-signs with Bengals

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

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...
