Box’d Lunch: Recent Episodes
Chatterbox Sports
Trace ”Doc” Fowler and Reid ”The Maustrap” Maus take charge of your lunch hour on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
In this episode of Chatterbox Bengals, Reid Maus takes aim at one of the most overused storylines in the NFL: the persistent claim that Joe Burrow wants out of Cincinnati. Every few months the national media resurrects the same rumor—Burrow is unhappy, the Bengals aren’t good enough, he’s looking for an exit. Reid breaks down why this narrative refuses to die, examines the actual evidence (or lack of it), and looks at Burrow’s own words, his contract, his community ties, and the competitive window still in front of the Bengals. Is there any real substance behind the “Burrow wants out” talk, or is it just lazy content designed to generate clicks and engagement? Reid separates fact from fiction and calls out the media cycle for what it is. Whether you’re a die-hard Who Dey faithful or just tired of manufactured drama, this episode delivers a clear-eyed look at one of the most stubborn narratives surrounding the NFL’s brightest young quarterbacks.
The Cincinnati Bengals are turning up the intensity at training camp, and Sunday’s practice provided plenty of storylines heading into the 2026 NFL season. Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense found the end zone twice during six 11-on-11, good-on-good drives, while the defense continued to show why expectations are rising in Cincinnati.

In this podcast, we break down the biggest Bengals training camp takeaways from the weekend, including Joe Burrow’s impressive physical condition, his post-practice sprints and why he could be more mobile than ever in 2026. We also discuss the continued connection between Burrow and Tee Higgins, including a beautiful back-shoulder touchdown that showcased one of the Bengals’ most dangerous offensive combinations.
Dexter Lawrence continues to make a massive impact on Cincinnati’s defense. His ability to command multiple blockers is creating opportunities for the rest of the Bengals defensive line, while his leadership is already changing the identity of the unit. Could the defensive line actually become a strength for Cincinnati this season?
We also discuss Andrei Iosivas and his battle with rookie wide receiver Colbie Young for the No. 3 receiver role. Iosivas has shown confidence and made plays throughout camp, while Young continues to push for an opportunity. That competition could be one of the most interesting position battles to watch during the preseason.
Plus, we have the latest on Bryan Cook and Dax Hill after both missed practice with soft-tissue issues, and why Cook’s health is especially important to the Bengals’ revamped safety room. DJ Ivey continues to make a strong impression with the first-team defense as well.
Finally, we look at Tanner Hudson’s chances of making the Bengals roster and why his relationship with the quarterback room could once again keep him in Cincinnati.

The Cincinnati Bengals have several key players entering the final year of their contracts, including DJ Turner, Dax Hill and Chase Brown. While DJ Turner may be viewed by many as the top extension priority, there is a strong argument that Chase Brown deserves a new contract from Cincinnati — especially after the way his game has continued to develop.
Chase Brown has become far more than a traditional running back for the Bengals. Since taking over the backfield, Brown has established himself as one of Cincinnati’s most explosive and versatile offensive weapons. His value goes beyond running the football, as he has continued to expand his role in the passing game, including lining up in the slot, running routes and becoming another way for Joe Burrow to get the ball into the hands of a playmaker.
The NFL running back market is also changing. Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs recently signed record-setting extensions, yet their annual salaries remain significantly below some of the top wide receiver contracts. That raises an important question for Cincinnati: could Chase Brown represent one of the better values on the Bengals’ roster if they can get him extended before his price climbs even higher?
Brown has been productive, versatile and remarkably available despite playing one of the NFL’s most physically demanding positions. With Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Joe Burrow already commanding significant money, the Bengals obviously cannot pay everyone. But if Chase Brown is willing to sign in the $13-$15 million-per-year range, there is a compelling argument that Cincinnati should seriously consider making the investment.
We break down Chase Brown’s value, DJ Turner’s contract situation, Dax Hill, the NFL running back market, Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Christian McCaffrey, and why Cincinnati could regret waiting too long to extend Brown.

The Cincinnati Bengals have a fascinating battle developing at wide receiver, and the competition for the WR3 job could have major implications for the future of the position. Andrei Iosivas is entering the final year of his rookie contract after becoming a reliable contributor for Cincinnati since being drafted in the sixth round out of Princeton. But with rookie wide receiver Colbie Young turning heads early in training camp, Iosivas could have legitimate competition for his role.
Today's podcast is presented by Sharefax Credit Union! Become a member today and visit sharefax.org
Iosivas had a rough practice with two drops, including a deep ball down the sideline and another quick-game completion over the middle. That immediately puts the spotlight on his battle with Colbie Young, who has impressed early despite being a rookie entering an extremely experienced Cincinnati Bengals offense. Young’s ability to learn Cincinnati’s complicated offense this quickly has been one of the more intriguing developments of training camp.
The Bengals have significant investments in Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, making it unlikely that Cincinnati will spend major money on a third wide receiver. That makes this season particularly important for Iosivas and fellow wide receiver Charlie Jones, who is also entering the final year of his rookie contract.
Jones has carved out a role as a return specialist, but injuries have limited his availability and he has yet to establish himself as a consistent offensive contributor. With Ke'Shawn Williams, Dohnte Meyers, Mitchell Tinsley and others competing for opportunities, Jones faces a critical season.
We break down the Bengals WR3 competition, Iosivas vs. Colbie Young, Charlie Jones’ future, the impact of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and what Cincinnati’s wide receiver room could look like beyond 2026.

Cashius Howell is making a huge statement at Cincinnati Bengals training camp, and he's not the only player turning heads. In today's video, we break down why the Bengals' second-round rookie is generating so much buzz after dominating one-on-one drills—including his viral bull rush against Orlando Brown Jr.—and why he could become an immediate contributor in Al Golden's defense.
Today's podcast is presented by Richter & Phillips! Head to https://richterphillips.com/pages/chatterbox-sports
We also discuss why the additions of Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen, and Boye Mafe have created the perfect environment for Howell to thrive without the pressure of being an every-down starter right away. With elite speed, relentless effort, and surprising power, the former Texas A&M standout is proving he belongs.
Beyond Howell, we dive into several other Bengals standing out during camp:
Cedric Johnson's impressive Year 3 development and why he's poised for a breakout season.
DJ Ivey continuing to earn the coaching staff's trust with outstanding coverage and versatility in the secondary.
Veteran safety Bryan Cook bringing championship leadership, communication, and stability to a Bengals defense that desperately needed it.
We also discuss what these performances could mean for Cincinnati's revamped defensive line, Joe Burrow's outlook heading into the 2026 season, and why this Bengals roster appears much deeper than in previous years.

In today's Bengals update, we break down why playing the starters in the preseason is the right decision despite the injury risk. After years of slow starts, the Bengals can't afford another sluggish September if they want to compete for the AFC North title and the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Getting Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Chase Brown, and the first-team offense valuable live reps could make all the difference.
We also dive into the biggest defensive storylines from Bengals training camp. New defensive coordinator Al Golden is simplifying the scheme, allowing players to react faster and play more aggressively. Plus, new additions like Dexter Lawrence and Bryan Cook could completely transform a defense that struggled with explosive plays a season ago.
Other topics include veteran rest days for Ja'Marr Chase and Dexter Lawrence, the latest observations from Bengals training camp, how the revamped roster is coming together, and what fans should expect when Cincinnati hosts the Detroit Lions in the preseason opener.
Do you agree with Zac Taylor's decision to play the starters? How many series should Joe Burrow play? Is playing in the preseason worth the injury risk? Let us know in the comments!

In this podcast, we break down why Joe Burrow and Zac Taylor appear to be experimenting with new offensive concepts, including more snaps under center, increased pre-snap motion, and new responsibilities for Chase Brown. Is Cincinnati preparing to evolve its offense, or are these simply training camp wrinkles?
We also discuss why the Bengals defense has had the upper hand early in camp and why that shouldn't be a cause for concern. Plus, Bryan Cook continues to flash, Dexter Lawrence and the revamped defensive line are making life difficult for the offensive line, and Joe Burrow is testing throws against one of the most talented defenses he's had in Cincinnati.
On the defensive side, DJ Ivey continues to build momentum in the race for playing time at cornerback, while Colbie Young and Dohnte Myers have emerged as two of the biggest offensive standouts of camp. Could either receiver force his way onto the Bengals' 53-man roster?
We also discuss the swing tackle competition, why Corey Robinson II is generating buzz, and what these early practices tell us about the Bengals heading into the preseason.
Finally, we touch on Sal Stewart's appearance at Bengals practice and why the Reds' young star continues to earn respect across Cincinnati's professional sports scene.

After being one of the most debated picks in the Bengals' 2026 NFL Draft class, Young is beginning to show exactly why Cincinnati believed in him. On today's show, we break down another impressive day from the rookie wide receiver, including his strong performances in team drills, his growing chemistry with Joe Burrow, and the mature mindset that has stood out just as much as his play on the field.
We also discuss why comparisons to Jermaine Burton were understandable when Young was drafted, but why Colbie Young appears to be writing a completely different story. His comments about learning behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins show a level of humility and professionalism that has impressed both coaches and fans early in training camp.
Beyond Young, the Bengals' defense continues to stack impressive practices. Rookie EDGE rusher Boye Mafe continues to flash with his athleticism, discipline, and ability to create pressure, while Dax Hill and the secondary are benefiting from a much-improved pass rush. Is Cincinnati finally building the type of defense that can complement Joe Burrow and one of the NFL's best offenses?
We also discuss Brian Cook's impact as one of the NFL's most reliable tackling safeties, why his addition could solve one of Cincinnati's biggest weaknesses from last season, and the latest observations from another padded practice.

ESPN has released its projected 2026 Cincinnati Bengals starting lineup, along with the team's biggest strength, biggest weakness, X-factor, and a non-starter to watch. How accurate are those projections, and what do they mean for the Bengals heading into the 2026 NFL season?
Today's podcast is presented by 78 Cigars! Get your box today: https://www.anthonymunoz.com/anthony-munoz-78-cigars
In this podcast, we break down ESPN's projected Bengals depth chart and discuss the biggest position battles still taking place during training camp. Will Josh Newton emerge as the favorite at nickel corner, or could players like Jalen Davis, Ja'Sir Taylor, DJ Ivey, or Bralyn Lux win the job?
We also react to ESPN naming the Bengals' elite wide receiver room—led by Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins—as the team's biggest strength. Is wide receiver truly Cincinnati's greatest asset, or should that honor belong to Joe Burrow and the quarterback position?
Plus, we discuss why linebacker continues to be viewed as the Bengals' biggest weakness despite encouraging early reports on Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter, and whether the left side of the offensive line featuring Orlando Brown Jr. and Dylan Fairchild will ultimately determine how far Cincinnati can go this season.
Finally, we talk about Erick All Jr., ESPN's non-starter to watch, and why he could become one of the Bengals' biggest difference-makers if he can stay healthy.

In this video, we break down the Bengals' entire offensive line heading into training camp, including expectations for Orlando Brown Jr., Dylan Fairchild, Ted Karras, Dalton Risner, and Amarius Mims. Is this the best offensive line Burrow has played behind? Can this group take another step in 2026?
We also discuss why Dylan Fairchild could be poised for a breakout second season, why Amarius Mims has superstar potential, and what Cincinnati's decision to extend Orlando Brown Jr. means for the future of the franchise.
Beyond the starters, we dive into one of the biggest roster battles of training camp: Who will win the swing tackle job? Can Cody Ford hold off challengers like Brian Parker II, Andrew Coker, Javon Foster, or one of the Bengals' undrafted rookies? We also look at fourth-round pick Connor Lew as the potential long-term replacement for Ted Karras and why offensive line coach Scott Peters could once again be one of Cincinnati's biggest difference-makers.

The Cincinnati Bengals Training Camp Day 2 is complete, and while the headlines weren't as dramatic as Day 1, there was still plenty to take away. In this video, I break down everything you need to know from another important day of Bengals camp, including the latest Shemar Stewart injury update, Joe Burrow throwing an interception, standout defensive performances, and which young players are making the biggest impression.
Today's podcast is presented by Richter & Phillips! Head to https://richterphillips.com/pages/chatterbox-sports
The best news of the day is that the Bengals appear to have avoided a major injury with Shemar Stewart. After going down during the opening practice with what looked like a potentially serious knee injury, Stewart reportedly suffered a hyperextended knee rather than a season-ending injury. We'll discuss what Zac Taylor had to say, what this means for Stewart's development, and why Cincinnati can breathe a sigh of relief.
We'll also talk about Demetrius Knight Jr. intercepting Joe Burrow, Barrett Carter's strong start to training camp, and why the Bengals' young linebackers appear to be taking a major step forward under defensive coordinator Al Golden.
On offense, there have been reports that the Bengals have looked a little out of sync through the first two practices. Is there any reason for concern, or is this simply what happens every year as defenses tend to start training camp ahead of the offense? We'll discuss Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and the expectations moving forward.
You'll also hear my thoughts on rookie Cashius Howell and the versatility he brings to Cincinnati's defense, along with why he could become one of the most intriguing players to watch this season.
Plus, we'll cover Erick All's incredible offseason story after being involved in a frightening accident in Greece, as well as the early camp performances from undrafted rookie wide receivers Noah Thomas and Dohnte Meyers, who continue to turn heads.

One of the biggest takeaways from Day 1 is that Dax Hill and DJ Turner II are both practicing despite ongoing contract discussions, setting the tone for the rest of the roster. We explain why their decision to report and participate sends an important message to players like Chase Brown, Jordan Battle, and Myles Murphy as they approach future extension talks.
We also take a deep dive into the Bengals' most important camp competitions, including the battle for the nickel cornerback position featuring Jaylen Davis, DJ Ivey, Josh Newton, Tacario Davis, Ja'Sir Taylor, and Bralyn Lux. Which defensive backs have the best chance to earn significant playing time in 2026?
On offense, we examine the offensive line depth, particularly at tackle behind Orlando Brown Jr. and Amarius Mims, and discuss why protecting Joe Burrow remains one of Cincinnati's top priorities. We also analyze the linebacker room, where Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. are expected to take major steps forward after their rookie seasons.

The Cincinnati Bengals opened 2026 training camp with the energy and intensity fans have been waiting months to see, but the excitement quickly gave way to concern after a potentially significant injury overshadowed an otherwise spirited first practice.
Today's podcast is presented by 78 Cigars! Get your box today: https://www.anthonymunoz.com/anthony-munoz-78-cigars
The biggest storyline from Day 1 was second-year defensive end Shemar Stewart, who suffered a left knee injury during 11-on-11 drills. Stewart's leg appeared to buckle on the play, and he was unable to put weight on it before being carted off the field. He was later seen using crutches and wearing a brace, though the team has not yet announced the severity of the injury. Losing Stewart for any length of time would be a disappointing setback for a young defender expected to take on a larger role in 2026.
The other headline came from a fiery practice scuffle involving Ja'Marr Chase and the Bengals' secondary. After a physical rep, Chase ripped off DJ Turner II's helmet and threw it across the field before jawing with several defenders. The confrontation escalated briefly with Jalen Davis stepping in, but coaches and teammates quickly separated everyone before punches were thrown. Both players later downplayed the incident, describing it as the competitive nature of training camp rather than any lingering issue inside the locker room.
Outside of the drama, Joe Burrow looked sharp in his first training camp action, delivering crisp throws and showing strong chemistry with his receiving corps. The offense operated efficiently throughout much of practice, while the defense showcased the aggressive mentality new coordinator Al Golden has emphasized heading into the season.
While Day 1 featured the usual excitement that comes with football returning, it also served as a reminder of how quickly fortunes can change. The Bengals will now await encouraging news on Stewart's knee while hoping the competitive edge displayed throughout practice—including the brief altercation—is a sign of a team determined to return to playoff contention in 2026.

Should the Cincinnati Bengals make a move for Deebo Samuel before the 2026 NFL season? Rumors have linked the former All-Pro wide receiver to Cincinnati, but would adding Samuel actually improve the Bengals—or would it be an unnecessary splash?
Today's podcast is presented by Richter & Phillips! Head to https://richterphillips.com/pages/chatterbox-sports
In this podcast, we break down whether Deebo Samuel makes sense as a potential WR3 behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, how he would fit into Zac Taylor's offense, and why the Bengals may be better off investing in positions like linebacker, cornerback, or offensive line instead. We also discuss Samuel's recent production, his injury history, and why the market for the veteran receiver has been surprisingly quiet.
Plus, we reflect on the career of Joe Mixon after reports surfaced that the longtime Bengals running back has told former teammates he's planning to retire following a foot injury that sidelined him last season. While nothing is official, we look back at Mixon's impact in Cincinnati, his biggest moments during the Bengals' Super Bowl run, his legacy in franchise history, and whether he deserves serious Ring of Honor consideration.

Should Cincinnati sign Deebo Samuel?
Is wide receiver actually a need?

Today's podcast is presented by Sharefax Credit Union! Become a member today and visit sharefax.org
It all starts with Joe Burrow staying healthy. The Bengals' franchise quarterback is the engine that makes everything go, and Cincinnati's record without Burrow proves just how important he is. If Burrow plays a full season, the Bengals immediately become one of the top contenders in the AFC.
From there, we discuss why the emergence of a third receiving option—possibly Mike Gesicki—could unlock the offense alongside Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. We also dive into the development of young offensive linemen Amarius Mims and Dylan Fairchild, and why their continued growth could elevate Cincinnati's offense to another level.
Defensively, the Bengals need one of their young edge rushers to become a true finisher. Can Boye Mafe or Myles Murphy emerge as a consistent double-digit sack threat and replace the production lost with Trey Hendrickson's departure? Finally, we explain why Bryan Cook could be one of the most important additions to Cincinnati's defense this season. His tackling ability, leadership, and consistency have the potential to stabilize the secondary and give the Bengals a major upgrade on the back end.
Do you agree with John Sheeran's five keys? Is Joe Burrow's health still the biggest factor, or do you think another area will determine whether Cincinnati can finally bring home its first Lombardi Trophy? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

This podcast breaks down Ben Baby's top players to watch, including linebacker Barrett Carter, tight end Erick All Jr., and edge rusher Boye Mafe. Can Barrett Carter take the Year 2 leap the Bengals desperately need? Will Erick All Jr. return to form after multiple knee injuries? And how important is Boye Mafe's production after signing a major free-agent contract?
The discussion also examines the battle for the WR3 role behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Can Andrei Iosivas hold off challenges from Mitchell Tinsley and rookie Colbie Young, or will training camp produce a surprise winner?
Plus, a full reaction to Ben Baby's early 53-man roster projection, including surprises at tight end, defensive line, linebacker, cornerback, and safety. Which veterans appear to be on the roster bubble? Which rookies have the best chance to make the team? And which unexpected cuts could be coming before Week 1?
The podcast also discusses the Bengals' cornerback contract situation, potential training camp extensions, and why several roster decisions could shape Cincinnati's chances of competing for a Super Bowl this season.
With Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and a revamped defense, expectations couldn't be higher as training camp gets underway.

The Cincinnati Bengals Ring of Honor is adding two deserving legends, and Bengals season ticket holders made a decision that honors the franchise's history.
Today's podcast is presented by Sharefax Credit Union! Become a member today and visit sharefax.org
This video breaks down why James Brooks and Bob Trumpy were the right choices for the Bengals Ring of Honor in 2026. While recent stars like AJ Green, Geno Atkins, and Andrew Whitworth appeared on the ballot, voters chose to recognize two players whose impact on the organization has been overlooked for far too long.
James Brooks remains one of the greatest running backs in Bengals history, holding multiple franchise records while producing some of the most efficient seasons the NFL has ever seen. Bob Trumpy helped lay the foundation for the Bengals as one of the franchise's original stars before becoming a respected broadcaster and ambassador for Cincinnati football.
The discussion also examines whether the Bengals should continue prioritizing older franchise legends before transitioning to a single Ring of Honor inductee each season. With future candidates including AJ Green, Geno Atkins, Andrew Whitworth, Chris Collinsworth, Jim Breech, and others still waiting, future ballots will only become more competitive.
Did Bengals season ticket holders make the right call? Should AJ Green have been inducted this year, or was it more important to recognize franchise pioneers first? Which former Bengals player deserves to be the next Ring of Honor inductee?

In this episode, we react to The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. and his ranking of the Bengals' most irreplaceable players heading into the 2026 NFL season. Of course, Joe Burrow tops the list, but where do Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Amarius Mims, DJ Turner, Dexter Lawrence, Dax Hill, and Ted Karras rank? We break down each selection and discuss whether we agree or disagree with the rankings.
We also examine why the Bengals invested in Joe Flacco as a veteran backup quarterback after seeing the offense struggle without Burrow in 2025. Is Ja'Marr Chase truly the second-most indispensable player on the roster, or are positions like offensive tackle and cornerback even more critical because of Cincinnati's lack of depth?
If you're a Bengals fan, this is a must-watch discussion covering roster construction, injury impact, offensive line concerns, defensive depth, and what it will take for Cincinnati to compete for an AFC North title and make a deep playoff run in 2026.

First, we react to a surprising ESPN statistic showing the Bengals have gone under their projected win total in 8 of the last 10 seasons. Despite consistently being viewed as AFC North favorites and legitimate Super Bowl contenders since their 2021 Super Bowl run, Cincinnati has repeatedly fallen short of expectations. Is this finally the year they prove the doubters wrong?
We also discuss why Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Chase Brown, and the rest of this talented roster have no excuses in 2026. With ESPN's Football Power Index ranking the Bengals as having the NFL's easiest schedule, missing the playoffs would be a massive disappointment. Plus, we dive into why Chase Brown could be one of the best value bets in football this season and whether he's poised for a breakout campaign.
Next, we take a closer look at the impressive Paycor Stadium renovations. From the redesigned Bengals Pro Shop and upgraded concessions to renovated suites, improved restrooms, new signage, and future scoreboard upgrades, Cincinnati is finally modernizing its home stadium after years of fans asking for improvements. Could these long-overdue upgrades help create one of the best game-day experiences in the NFL?
Finally, we break down why Myles Murphy was named by The Athletic as the Bengals player with the most to prove in 2026. Can the former first-round pick build on last season, become a double-digit sack producer, and earn a massive contract? With new defensive pieces around him and enormous expectations, this could be the season that defines his career.
If you're a Bengals fan, this episode is packed with analysis, predictions, and everything you need to know before the season kicks off. Whether you're looking for the latest Bengals news, NFL storylines, or AFC North updates, you've come to the right place.

The Cincinnati Bengals are entering 2026 training camp with Super Bowl expectations, but one position group could determine whether they compete for a championship or fall short once again: linebacker.

On today's episode of Chatterbox Bengals, we break down the Bengals' linebacker room from top to bottom and explain why it remains the biggest question mark on the roster. Can Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. make the massive Year 2 leap Cincinnati desperately needs, or did the Bengals make a mistake by not adding another proven starter this offseason?
We also discuss whether Duke Tobin, Zac Taylor, and Al Golden will eventually sign a veteran linebacker before Week 1. Is Bobby Wagner still a realistic option? How long will the Bengals stick with their young linebackers if they struggle during training camp or early in the regular season?
Plus, we examine the depth behind the starters, including Oren Burks, Joe Giles-Harris, Shaka Heyward, Maema Njongmeta, and the rest of Cincinnati's linebacker group. Is there enough talent to survive injuries, or is this still one of the weakest units in the NFL?
If the Bengals are going to return to the playoffs and compete for a Super Bowl with Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and one of the NFL's best offenses, they cannot afford another season of poor linebacker play.

Joe Burrow is widely regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but does being the face of the franchise mean he deserves more criticism after losses? We discuss Burrow's leadership, accountability, expectations, and why 2026 could be the biggest season of his Bengals career.
We also break down the latest on Chase Brown and why Cincinnati should seriously consider signing the standout running back to a contract extension before his price continues to rise. Is Chase Brown part of the Bengals' long-term future, or could Cincinnati wait and use the franchise tag?
Plus, we examine where the Bengals could still improve the roster before training camp. Could another veteran free-agent signing be coming? Is linebacker, cornerback, or offensive line the biggest remaining need?
We also dive into Al Golden's "Viper" defensive role, what it means for Cincinnati's defense, and whether Boye Mafe or Cashius Howell could emerge as the versatile chess piece the Bengals are looking for.

How much are Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Dexter Lawrence, and DJ Turner actually worth in today's NFL trade market?
Today's podcast is presented by Sharefax Credit Union! Become a member today and visit sharefax.org
ESPN's Bill Barnwell released a fascinating breakdown of every NFL team's biggest stars and projected what each player would cost in a hypothetical trade. While blockbuster deals involving elite players once seemed impossible, recent trades involving stars like Micah Parsons and Sauce Gardner prove that nothing is off the table in today's NFL.
On today's Cincinnati Bengals show, we break down Barnwell's projected trade values for the Bengals' biggest stars and discuss whether ESPN got it right.
Is Joe Burrow really worth only four first-round picks? Should Ja'Marr Chase command more than two first-round selections after establishing himself as the best wide receiver in football? Was Cincinnati right to pay Tee Higgins instead of considering a trade? We also discuss why the Bengals' acquisition of Dexter Lawrence looks even better after ESPN valued him as a first-round-caliber player, plus what DJ Turner's value says about the importance of elite cornerbacks.
We'll also dive into why franchise quarterbacks like Burrow are virtually untouchable, why Chase may still be undervalued despite his massive contract, and what these trade values reveal about how the rest of the NFL views Cincinnati's roster.

Ja'Marr Chase is officially the No. 1 wide receiver in the NFL, according to ESPN's annual rankings voted on by NFL executives, coaches, and scouts. On today's Cincinnati Bengals show, we break down why Chase earned the top spot over stars like Justin Jefferson, Jaxson Smith-Njigba, Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, Nico Collins, and more.

What separates Ja'Marr Chase from the rest of the NFL? We discuss the fear he creates for opposing defenses, his dominance against press coverage, his ability to score from anywhere on the field, and why NFL decision-makers overwhelmingly believe he's the league's most dangerous receiver. Even after playing part of the season without Joe Burrow, Chase continued producing at an elite level.
We also examine what this ranking says about the Bengals entering the 2026 NFL season. With Joe Burrow already recognized as one of the league's best quarterbacks and Chase now sitting atop the wide receiver rankings, Cincinnati possesses arguably the NFL's best quarterback-wide receiver combination. Plus, Tee Higgins continues to earn league-wide respect despite playing behind Chase.
In addition, we react to ESPN's full Top 10 wide receiver rankings, including Justin Jefferson, JSN, Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown, George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb, Nico Collins, AJ Brown, Davante Adams, and discuss several notable snubs.
Can the Bengals' improved defense finally match their elite offense? If Cincinnati gets even average defensive play, are they legitimate Super Bowl contenders in 2026?

Did Tim Hasselbeck seriously say Joe Burrow isn't a top-five quarterback in the NFL? In this video, we break down Hasselbeck's controversial comments about the Cincinnati Bengals superstar after ESPN's annual NFL quarterback rankings sparked debate across the football world.

Hasselbeck argues that Burrow's injury history and lack of availability should keep him outside the NFL's elite quarterbacks, but does that argument actually hold up? We dive into Burrow's incredible production when healthy, including his nearly 5,000-yard, 43-touchdown season, and explain why ranking the best quarterbacks isn't the same as ranking the most durable quarterbacks.
We also compare Joe Burrow to Jared Goff, Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert, and the rest of the NFL's top quarterbacks to see if the criticism is justified or simply another example of Burrow being underrated despite his elite play.
Later in the show, we shift our attention to Bengals right tackle Amarius Mims. After an impressive sophomore season, could Mims be on the verge of becoming one of the NFL's best offensive tackles? We discuss why his ceiling is incredibly high, how offensive line coach Scott Peters has helped accelerate his development, and why Mims could become a cornerstone of Cincinnati's offensive line for the next decade.
If you're a Cincinnati Bengals fan, this episode is packed with NFL analysis, Joe Burrow discussion, offensive line breakdowns, training camp storylines, and everything you need before the 2026 season gets underway.
Who do you think is the better quarterback right now: Joe Burrow or Lamar Jackson? Does Burrow belong in the NFL's top five? And is Amarius Mims the Bengals' biggest breakout candidate this season?

This podcast breaks down ESPN's quarterback rankings from top to bottom, including Josh Allen taking the No. 1 spot, Patrick Mahomes, Matthew Stafford, Lamar Jackson, and where Joe Burrow fits among the NFL's elite. The discussion examines why Burrow continues to earn respect from decision-makers around the league, including receiving first-place votes despite injuries that have limited his availability over the past several seasons.
The analysis also looks at what separates Burrow from the rest of the NFL's top quarterbacks, how his command of the Bengals' offense compares to the league's biggest stars, and why many believe he is the engine behind Cincinnati's success. Plus, there is a reaction to several surprising rankings, including Caleb Williams, Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert, Drake Maye, Jared Goff, and notable quarterbacks who were left off the list.
Can Joe Burrow reclaim the top spot with a healthy 2026 season? If he stays on the field and leads the Bengals back into Super Bowl contention, the conversation surrounding the league's best quarterback could look much different by the end of the year.

The starting duo appears set with Bryan Cook and Jordan Battle. Cook arrives in Cincinnati after winning multiple Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs, bringing championship experience, leadership, physicality, and versatility to the Bengals secondary. His addition should provide a major upgrade at safety and help elevate the entire defense under Al Golden.
Meanwhile, Jordan Battle enters one of the most important seasons of his career. After flashing playmaking ability while forcing turnovers last season, consistency in coverage and tackling will be key. A strong season alongside Bryan Cook could solidify Battle as a long-term piece of Cincinnati's defense.
The Bengals also added Kyle Dugger, whose versatility allows him to play multiple roles throughout the secondary. Whether lining up deep, near the line of scrimmage, or matching up against tight ends, Dugger gives Al Golden another valuable chess piece.
The biggest battle may come for the fourth safety spot. PJ Jules, Daijahn Anthony, Russ Yeast, and rookie Isaac Nwokobia will all compete throughout training camp and the preseason for what is expected to be the final safety position on the 53-man roster. Special teams could ultimately decide who earns that job.

We know Dax Hill and DJ Turner II are expected to start on the outside, but both former draft picks enter a pivotal season. Will they receive contract extensions before the season begins, or will they be playing with something to prove? I discuss why both players are poised for big years and what they need to do to solidify themselves as long-term pieces of the Bengals defense.
The biggest competition comes at nickel cornerback, where Jalen Davis, Bralyn Lux, and Ja'Sir Taylor are all battling for the starting job. Could Jalen Davis hold onto the role after finishing last season strong? Will Bralyn Lux make the leap after spending his rookie season developing? Or can veteran Ja'Sir Taylor emerge as the favorite during training camp?
We also break down the rest of the room, including rookie Tacario Davis, who is expected to make an immediate impact after being selected in the third round, along with DJ Ivey, Josh Newton, Jalen Kimber, and Ceyair Wright as they compete for valuable roster spots.

Should the Cincinnati Bengals extend Chase Brown before the 2026 NFL season, or should they make him prove it for another year? That's one of the biggest questions facing the Bengals front office, and we're breaking down exactly what the right move is.
Today's podcast is presented by Richter & Phillips! Head to https://richterphillips.com/pages/chatterbox-sports
Chase Brown has emerged as one of the NFL's most exciting young running backs, but what is his true value? Should Cincinnati lock him up now and potentially save money in the long run, or would an early extension be a mistake if his asking price climbs too high? We discuss what Brown should realistically earn, where he ranks among the NFL's top running backs, and why paying him like an elite back only makes sense if the numbers match his production.
We also dive into ESPN's latest NFL running back rankings, how league executives, coaches, and scouts may view Chase Brown, and what those evaluations could mean during contract negotiations. Is Brown worth $10 million per year? Would $12 million be the sweet spot? At what point should the Bengals walk away?
Plus, we discuss the latest Bobby Wagner rumors. The veteran linebacker is still available as training camp approaches, and Joe Burrow's recent contract restructure has sparked speculation that Cincinnati could have enough financial flexibility to make another move. Would Bobby Wagner be the missing veteran leader for Al Golden's defense? Or are the Bengals committed to seeing what their young linebackers can do before making a splash signing?
We'll also cover the Bengals' salary cap situation, contract strategy, roster construction, training camp storylines, and what these decisions could mean for Cincinnati's Super Bowl aspirations this season.

This podcast breaks down the full rankings, why Dexter Lawrence dropped from last year's list, and whether his placement accurately reflects his impact on the field. While his sack numbers declined in 2025, the advanced metrics tell a different story. Lawrence was double-teamed on an incredible 71.3% of his pass-rush snaps, the highest rate among qualifying defensive tackles, showing just how much attention he commands from opposing offenses.
The discussion also compares Lawrence with Leonard Williams, Jeffrey Simmons, Jalen Carter, Chris Jones, Derrick Brown, Quinnen Williams, Zack Allen, Milton Williams, and Jordan Davis while explaining why defensive tackle is one of the hardest positions to evaluate in the NFL. Great interior defensive linemen don't just produce sacks—they elevate everyone around them by creating opportunities for linebackers and edge rushers.
The podcast also looks at what Dexter Lawrence's arrival means for the Bengals' defense in 2026, how he could transform Cincinnati's defensive line, and why this trade could end up being one of the biggest moves of the NFL offseason. Plus, there's discussion about Barrett Carter's development, the Bengals' defensive outlook, and whether this unit is finally ready to take the next step.
Do you think Dexter Lawrence is the best defensive tackle in the NFL? Was No. 7 too low? Can he help turn the Bengals into a legitimate Super Bowl contender? Share your thoughts in the comments.

This podcast breaks down why the Bengals may still need to sign a veteran linebacker or cornerback before Week 1, what the current depth chart says about the defense, and whether another roster move is necessary before the regular season begins.
The discussion also takes a closer look at why ESPN's Ben Solak believes Erick All is poised for a breakout season. Despite injuries early in his career, All flashed his potential as a rookie with his blocking ability, versatility, and physical style of play. If he stays healthy, he could become one of the Bengals' most important offensive weapons alongside Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Chase Brown, and Mike Gesicki.
NFL.com's biggest Bengals storylines are also analyzed, including whether the defense has improved enough to support one of the NFL's elite offenses, how important Joe Burrow's health will be throughout the season, and the pressure facing Zac Taylor as expectations continue to rise in Cincinnati.
Can the Bengals make another deep playoff run? Should the front office add another veteran defender before the season begins? Is Erick All ready to become one of the NFL's breakout players?

In today's podcast, we continue our breakdown of ESPN's annual NFL position rankings, which are voted on by NFL scouts, coaches, and executives—the people evaluating players every single day. After discussing the running backs, it's time to take a closer look at the league's best cornerbacks and where DJ Turner fits into the conversation.
Patrick Surtain II, Derek Stingley Jr., Christian Gonzalez, Trent McDuffie, Devon Witherspoon, Denzel Ward, Sauce Gardner, and Quinyon Mitchell all made the list. But should DJ Turner have at least received an honorable mention after his breakout 2025 season?
We also dive into the bigger question facing the Bengals front office: What is DJ Turner actually worth?
If Cincinnati is serious about signing Turner to a long-term extension, the price tag could approach $25-30 million per year, putting him in the same financial conversation as the NFL's elite cornerbacks. Is Turner already in that tier, or should the Bengals wait another season before committing that kind of money?
In this video, we discuss:
ESPN's Top 10 NFL cornerback rankings
Why DJ Turner was left off the list
Whether the Bengals cornerback deserved an honorable mention
Comparing Turner to Patrick Surtain II, Derek Stingley Jr., Christian Gonzalez, Trent McDuffie, and Sauce Gardner
DJ Turner's potential contract extension
Duke Tobin's biggest roster decision
What this means for the Bengals' future salary cap
Do you think DJ Turner was snubbed by ESPN? Should the Bengals extend him now, or make him prove it for another season? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

In today's Bengals discussion, we break down Paul Dehner Jr.'s latest report from The Athletic and what it reveals about Cincinnati's evolving philosophy at defensive tackle. For years, the Bengals were hesitant to invest in players once they reached their 30s. That approach appears to be changing in a big way.
We'll discuss why the Bengals believe veteran defensive tackles can continue playing at a high level, how improvements in training, nutrition, recovery, and sports science have changed the NFL, and why Duke Tobin is embracing a different roster-building strategy than we've seen in previous seasons.
We also examine how the additions of Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen completely transform Cincinnati's defensive tackle room while allowing BJ Hill and T.J. Slaton to settle into more natural rotational roles. Could fewer snaps actually lead to more production from Hill? We'll break down the numbers, including snap counts, PFF data, and why the Bengals believe experience along the defensive line could pay major dividends in 2026.
This video also looks at the organizational changes taking place throughout the franchise, from roster construction to offensive philosophy, and why the Bengals appear more willing than ever to adapt instead of sticking to the same blueprint year after year.
If you're looking for the latest Cincinnati Bengals news, Bengals rumors, NFL analysis, roster breakdowns, training camp coverage, and in-depth discussions on Joe Burrow, Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen, BJ Hill, T.J. Slaton, Duke Tobin, and Zac Taylor, you've come to the right place.

How will the Cincinnati Bengals shape their tight end depth chart ahead of the 2026 NFL season? In this episode of The Stone Shields Show, I break down every tight end on the roster, predict who makes the 53-man roster, and explain why this position group could play a much bigger role in the Bengals offense this year.
The conversation starts with Drew Sample and Mike Gesicki, who are essentially Cincinnati's two TE1s. Sample continues to be one of the NFL's most underrated blocking tight ends, while Gesicki remains one of Joe Burrow's most reliable receiving weapons. I explain why both players are critical to the Bengals' success and why Gesicki could be in line for a huge 2026 season if Burrow stays healthy.
I also discuss the biggest wild card in the room: Eric All Jr. His talent is undeniable, but injuries have limited him throughout his football career. If he can stay healthy, he gives Zac Taylor's offense a completely different dimension with his ability to block, catch passes, and line up all over the formation.
Beyond the top three, I break down the battle between Tanner Hudson, Cam Grandy, Jack Endries, and Cole Katis for the remaining roster spots. Will the Bengals keep four tight ends or carry five like they have in previous seasons? I give my predictions and explain which players have the inside track to make the roster.
Topics covered:
Bengals tight end depth chart
Mike Gesicki breakout prediction
Drew Sample's underrated value
Eric All Jr.'s injury outlook
Tanner Hudson vs. Jack Endries
Cam Grandy's roster chances
Cole Katis UDFA outlook

The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback room might be the deepest it has ever been, and arguably the best in the NFL. In today's episode of The Stone Shields Show, I break down the entire Bengals QB depth chart, from Joe Burrow to Joe Flacco, Josh Johnson, and Sean Clifford, and explain why Cincinnati deserves major credit for how it built this position.
Today's podcast is presented by 78 Cigars! Get your box today: https://www.anthonymunoz.com/anthony-munoz-78-cigars
We start with Joe Burrow, entering Year 7 of his NFL career, and discuss why the urgency to win a Super Bowl has never been higher. Can Burrow stay healthy in 2026? If he does, the Bengals have every reason to believe they can compete for a Lombardi Trophy.
Then we dive into one of my favorite moves of the Bengals' offseason: bringing back Joe Flacco. Cincinnati made the smart decision to invest $6 million in arguably the best backup quarterback in football, giving the team a legitimate chance to stay afloat if Burrow misses a few games. That's something the Bengals simply didn't have in previous seasons.
I also discuss why Josh Johnson is an ideal QB3, what Sean Clifford brings to the roster, and why this quarterback room is deeper than any Bengals fan has seen in decades.
Topics covered:
Joe Burrow's outlook for the 2026 season
Why Joe Flacco was a must-sign
Bengals quarterback depth chart analysis
Josh Johnson's role as QB3
Sean Clifford's chances of making the roster
Can Cincinnati survive if Burrow misses time?

The latest Cincinnati Bengals news is loaded with intriguing storylines, and we're breaking down three of the biggest topics heading into the 2026 NFL season.
Today's podcast is presented by Richter & Phillips! Head to https://richterphillips.com/pages/chatterbox-sports
First, former NFL standout Jason McCourty joined the Bengals Booth Podcast and had some fascinating comments about new Bengals safety Kyle Dugger. McCourty described Dugger as a "physical freak" and a true chess piece capable of playing multiple roles in a defense. We dive into why Dugger could be one of the most important additions to Al Golden's defense, how his versatility fits Cincinnati's new scheme, and why a change of scenery could help him return to his best football.
We also discuss Tee Higgins signing with Under Armour and why this move represents something much bigger than a new endorsement deal. Has the Bengals' national profile changed because of Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Higgins? We explain why Cincinnati has become one of the NFL's premier brands and why major companies are investing in Bengals stars like never before.
Finally, Baltimore Ravens All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton had high praise for Joe Burrow, calling attention to Burrow's elite football IQ and ability to diagnose defenses before the snap. We examine why Burrow continues to earn respect from opposing players and why his mental game could elevate him to another level as his career progresses.

The conversation starts with Mitchell Tinsley, who signed a one-year extension after an impressive 2025 preseason that had Bengals fans believing he had secured a roster spot. Could a healthy Joe Burrow unlock a much bigger role for Tinsley this season? We discuss why his production may have been limited by quarterback injuries rather than his talent and why he could become one of Cincinnati's most reliable depth receivers behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
We also examine several fascinating roster battles, including Daijahn Anthony, PJ Jules, Tacario Davis, DJ Ivey, and linebacker Swayze Bozeman as they compete for valuable roster spots during Bengals training camp. Which young players have the best chance to surprise coaches? Who could become a key contributor on defense or special teams?
With Al Golden taking over the defense and expectations rising for another playoff run, every roster decision matters. These under-the-radar players could become difference-makers as the Bengals chase an AFC North title and another trip to the postseason.

ESPN's Seth Walder gave the Cincinnati Bengals a C for their 2026 offseason... but did he completely miss the mark?

In today's episode, we break down Walder's latest ESPN.com offseason grades and explain why his evaluation of the Bengals doesn't add up. Despite praising Cincinnati for addressing major defensive needs, Walder criticized the team's biggest move—trading for Dexter Lawrence—calling the price too high after the Bengals sent the No. 10 overall pick to the New York Giants.
Was it really an overpay?
We dive into why Lawrence remains one of the NFL's premier defensive tackles, why one "down" season shouldn't erase years of elite production, and why context matters when evaluating his 2025 performance. We also discuss why comparing an established All-Pro to a rookie available at No. 10 isn't as simple as it sounds.
Plus, we examine:
Why the Bengals desperately needed to upgrade the interior defensive line.
Whether Jonathan Allen and Boye Mafe were smart additions.
Why leadership matters as much as talent on defense.
How Cincinnati's draft board made the Dexter Lawrence trade even more logical.
Why the Bengals are clearly built to win right now, not three years from now.
Do you agree with Seth Walder's C grade, or do you think the Bengals had one of the best offseasons in the NFL?

First, we take a closer look at PJ Jules and why the former undrafted free agent may be the favorite to claim the Bengals' fourth safety spot. We discuss his impressive work on special teams, his development since joining Cincinnati, and whether he can replace Tyson Anderson's role under special teams coordinator Darren Simmons.
Next, we dive into William Wagner, the Bengals' long snapper who quietly won the job last season. Why is the kicking operation so important for a team with playoff aspirations? We discuss Evan McPherson, Ryan Rehkow, and why consistency on special teams could be the difference between winning and losing close games in 2026.
Finally, we examine Howard Cross III and his uphill battle to earn a roster spot along the defensive line. With major additions in the trenches and increased competition, does the former Notre Dame standout have what it takes to stick on the Bengals' 53-man roster?
As training camp approaches, every roster spot matters, and these are three players worth watching throughout camp and the preseason.

Why Burrow has every reason to stay in Cincinnati
The Bengals' aggressive offseason moves

With reports suggesting both Dax Hill and DJ Turner Jr. could command contracts worth $20 million or more per year, the Bengals front office must determine whether to extend one, both, or neither player before the 2026 season. After investing heavily in Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Dexter Lawrence, and other key contributors, can Cincinnati continue paying top-of-market contracts across the roster?
In today's podcast, we break down the Bengals' salary cap situation, discuss the projected market value for Dax Hill and DJ Turner Jr., and analyze whether waiting another season may be the smartest move. If Turner repeats his breakout performance, his value could climb into the same range as elite NFL cornerbacks such as Trent McDuffie, Sauce Gardner, and Derek Stingley Jr.
Topics discussed in this video include:
Dax Hill's future with the Bengals
DJ Turner's contract projection
Joe Burrow's impact on roster construction
Whether Cincinnati should extend either player now
Salary cap implications moving forward
Chase Brown's extension case
The Bengals' Super Bowl window
Recent offseason moves and their impact on future contracts
The Bengals have made aggressive moves to improve the roster and appear committed to competing for a championship. However, difficult financial decisions are approaching, and the front office must determine which players are worth long-term investments.
Should Cincinnati lock up Dax Hill now? Should they extend DJ Turner before his price rises even higher? Or should they let both players prove themselves for another season before committing major money?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Would you extend Dax Hill, DJ Turner Jr., both players, or neither?

A new article from Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic has reignited one of the biggest conversations surrounding Joe Burrow, Zac Taylor, and the Bengals offense heading into the 2026 NFL season: Will Cincinnati actually commit to using more under center formations and play-action concepts?
For years, the Bengals have relied heavily on shotgun formations, spreading defenses out and letting Joe Burrow distribute the football to stars like Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Mike Gesicki, and Chase Brown. While that approach has produced elite passing numbers, it has also created challenges for the offensive line and limited some of the explosive plays that other top NFL offenses generate through under center play action.
In this podcast, we break down Paul Dehner Jr.'s latest reporting, Joe Burrow's comments about potentially expanding the offense, and the analytics that suggest teams utilizing more under center play action consistently create more explosive plays down the field.
Can the Bengals become more explosive offensively?
Will Zac Taylor actually stick with under center concepts when games matter?
How much could this help protect Joe Burrow?
Could a more balanced offensive attack be the key to winning close games and making a Super Bowl run?
We'll examine the numbers, discuss what Andrew Whitworth has been saying about the offensive line, and explore whether Cincinnati can find the right balance between its elite shotgun passing attack and a more diverse offensive scheme.
If you're a Bengals fan, this is one of the most important storylines to watch before Week 1.

Graziano recently argued that it is not an overreaction to say this version of the Bengals is facing a defining season in 2026. With Joe Burrow healthy, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins signed long term, and the front office making aggressive moves to improve the roster, expectations have never been higher in Cincinnati.
We'll examine Graziano's comments regarding Joe Burrow, Zac Taylor, and the Bengals coaching staff, along with why another playoff miss could trigger major changes throughout the organization. Is this the year the Bengals return to contender status in the AFC, or will another disappointing season force difficult decisions?
We'll also break down Jay Morrison's latest analysis of the Bengals' 2026 schedule and why Cincinnati appears to have received a favorable draw. The Bengals will face both the AFC South and NFC South, divisions that have struggled to produce consistent contenders in recent years. Could that scheduling advantage help propel Cincinnati back into the playoffs and on a deep postseason run?
Topics discussed in this podcast:
Dan Graziano's "Now or Never" Bengals take
Joe Burrow's pressure entering 2026
Zac Taylor's future in Cincinnati
Bengals offseason moves and roster upgrades
AFC North expectations
Why the 2026 schedule favors the Bengals
What constitutes success for Cincinnati this season

In today's show, we discuss why the Bengals are likely to make at least one more roster move before camp opens and whether a veteran linebacker could be the missing piece on defense. Could free agent linebacker Bobby Okereke be a realistic target for Cincinnati? We break down his fit, contract situation, leadership qualities, and why he could make sense alongside the Bengals' revamped defense.
We also examine ESPN's recent suggestion that the Bengals pursue Okereke instead of other veteran linebacker options and discuss what Cincinnati's front office may be willing to spend before the season begins.
Plus, we dive into one of the most intriguing under-the-radar players on the roster: Bralen Lux. After spending last season on the practice squad, Lux appears to be earning opportunities with the first-team defense. Could the former Texas Tech standout emerge as a surprise contributor in Al Golden's defense? We break down his chances of making the 53-man roster and potentially competing for the starting nickel corner role.

With training camp approaching, we're breaking down three intriguing Day 3 selections from the Bengals' 2026 NFL Draft class: Brian Parker II, Jack Endries, and Landon Robinson. Using insights from John Sheeran's outstanding Bengals player profile series, we take a closer look at which rookies could become surprise contributors this season.
Brian Parker II looks like a strong bet to make the roster after showcasing rare versatility throughout his football career. The former Duke offensive lineman played center, tackle, and is already getting reps at guard with Cincinnati. Could he become the Bengals' next valuable offensive line depth piece?
We also discuss seventh-round tight end Jack Endries, whose journey from walk-on at Cal to Texas standout and now Cincinnati Bengal has been impressive. With a chip on his shoulder after falling in the draft, Ingrams enters a crowded tight end room featuring Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, Erick All Jr., Tanner Hudson, and Cam Grandy. Can he earn a roster spot or land on the practice squad?
Finally, we examine one of the most fascinating sleepers in the Bengals' draft class: Landon Robinson. The former Navy defensive lineman dominated at the college level and generated plenty of buzz throughout the pre-draft process. Does he have what it takes to overcome concerns about his size and force his way onto Cincinnati's defensive line rotation?
Plus, we discuss roster projections, Bengals training camp battles, offensive line depth, defensive line competition, and which rookie could become the biggest surprise of the summer.

Following the Cincinnati Bengals' mandatory minicamp, both Joe Burrow and Zac Taylor met with the media, and Burrow's comments immediately became one of the biggest stories of the NFL offseason. The Bengals quarterback compared this year's Cincinnati roster to his legendary 2019 LSU team that went 15-0, won the National Championship, and is widely considered one of the greatest college football teams ever.
In this podcast, we break down Joe Burrow's powerful comments, what they reveal about his confidence heading into the 2026 NFL season, and why many fans believe the swagger that helped lead Cincinnati to a Super Bowl and multiple AFC Championship appearances is officially back.
We discuss Burrow's comparison between the Bengals and LSU, his belief in the talent assembled by the front office, and his growing role as a vocal leader inside the locker room. Burrow also explained how he's changing his leadership style and becoming more demanding of teammates as the Bengals pursue a championship.
We also dive into Zac Taylor's comments after Cincinnati shortened mandatory minicamp to just one practice. Was there a message behind the decision? And what warning did Taylor appear to send to younger players before the team heads into summer break?

With all 90 players required to attend, this three-day minicamp gives coaches their best opportunity yet to evaluate roster battles, young talent, and potential breakout candidates before camp opens later this summer. While there won't be pads or live contact, there will still be plenty to learn as players compete for spots on the final 53-man roster.
In today's Bengals breakdown, we take a closer look at several key position groups and players worth watching throughout minicamp. Can Shawn Clifford challenge for the QB3 spot behind Joe Burrow and Joe Flacco? Which wide receivers are fighting for valuable roster spots behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Andrei Iosivas? Will Charlie Jones, Mitch Tinsley, or a surprise candidate emerge?
We also discuss the running back room, offensive line depth, defensive line competitions, and the biggest concern currently facing the Bengals roster: linebacker. Can young players like Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight take a major step forward? Will the Bengals make a veteran addition before training camp?
Plus, we examine the futures of players such as D.J. Turner, Chase Brown, Dax Hill, McKinley Jackson, Chris Jenkins Jr., and several under-the-radar names looking to make an impression on the coaching staff.
Could a contract extension happen during the summer break? Which players have the most to gain over the next three days? And who needs a strong minicamp to secure their future in Cincinnati?

One of the biggest takeaways from the interview was Taylor's response to questions surrounding Joe Burrow's happiness and mindset. After months of speculation from fans and national media, the Bengals head coach made it clear that Burrow has enjoyed a strong offseason and remains completely focused on bringing a championship to Cincinnati.
Taylor also emphasized the importance of team chemistry, a topic that has become increasingly important as the Bengals look to return to Super Bowl contention. Can the culture and chemistry inside the locker room help Cincinnati take the next step after recent playoff disappointments?
We also discuss Taylor's comments on rookie defenders Cashius Howell and Tacario Davis, two young players who could have opportunities to contribute sooner than many expect. What did Taylor have to say about their development, and why is the coaching staff so excited about their potential?
In addition, Zac Taylor addressed the impact of not having to face Myles Garrett twice a year and discussed the challenges presented by some of the AFC's top defensive players.

With roughly $17 million in available cap space heading into the heart of the summer, the Bengals suddenly have flexibility to pursue contract extensions, add veteran free agents, or potentially do both. In this video, we break down the top remaining NFL free agents who could still make sense for Cincinnati as training camp approaches.
Could the Bengals reunite Joe Burrow with former Ohio State star Joey Bosa? Is future Hall of Fame linebacker Bobby Wagner the veteran leader Cincinnati needs to stabilize its linebacker room? What about a return for former Bengals offensive linemen Kevin Zeitler or Jonah Williams? We also discuss veteran pass rusher Cam Jordan and former first-round pick Mekhi Becton as potential options.
The Bengals have a history of making impactful offseason additions during the summer months. Players like Dalton Risner and Noah Fant arrived after the initial wave of free agency and played important roles. Could Cincinnati be preparing to make another surprise move before training camp begins?
We'll analyze the Bengals' biggest roster needs, examine how these veteran free agents could fit into Al Golden's defense and Zac Taylor's roster, and discuss whether the front office should prioritize outside additions or contract extensions for current players.

By restructuring Burrow's deal, the Bengals have freed up roughly $10 million in salary cap space for the 2026 season. While some fans immediately think this means Cincinnati is preparing to sign another free agent, the bigger story is what this says about the organization's mindset.
For years, the Bengals were known for being one of the NFL's most conservative front offices. They rarely restructured contracts, avoided major trades, and often refused to push money into future seasons. That approach appears to be changing.
This offseason alone, Cincinnati has traded for Dexter Lawrence, signed Brian Cook, added Jonathan Allen, brought in Kyle Dugger, strengthened the defensive line, and now restructured Joe Burrow's contract. These are the types of aggressive moves that serious Super Bowl contenders make.
In this podcast, we break down:
Why the Bengals restructured Joe Burrow's contract
How much salary cap space Cincinnati created
What this means for future contract extensions
Could Chase Brown, Dax Hill, DJ Turner, Jordan Battle, or Miles Murphy be next?
Potential trade and free-agent possibilities
Why this move signals a major philosophical shift inside the Bengals organization
The impact of the Dexter Lawrence trade on Cincinnati's cap situation
This offseason has been unlike anything Bengals fans have seen in recent memory, and the Joe Burrow restructure may be the clearest indication yet that Cincinnati is fully committed to maximizing its championship window.
Do you think the Bengals should use the new cap space to sign another player, make a trade, or lock up one of their young stars long-term?

For years, Bengals fans have grown accustomed to contract disputes, holdouts, trade requests, locker room distractions, and storylines that seemed to overshadow football. But heading into the 2026 NFL season, that narrative has completely changed.
In this podcast, we break down why Cincinnati's offseason has gone nearly perfectly and why that could be a major factor in the team's Super Bowl aspirations.
Players like DJ Turner and Dax Hill are showing up and participating despite entering important contract years. Instead of creating distractions or sending messages through the media, they're focused on improving, building chemistry, and helping the Bengals chase a championship. That's a significant shift from previous years when contract situations involving stars like Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Trey Hendrickson dominated headlines.
The Bengals have also made aggressive moves to improve the roster, sending a clear message to the locker room that the organization is serious about winning now. That commitment appears to have earned buy-in from players throughout the roster.
We discuss why team culture matters in the NFL, how championship contenders separate themselves from the rest of the league, and why Cincinnati's current mindset could be one of the biggest reasons they're positioned for a deep playoff run.
Can the Bengals finally capitalize on the prime years of Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins? Is this the most united Bengals team we've seen in years? And does a distraction-free offseason actually translate into regular season success?
Join the conversation and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Do you think the Bengals are legitimate Super Bowl contenders in 2026?

The Cincinnati Bengals made two significant moves Tuesday that signal the franchise is going all-in on competing in 2026: restructuring Joe Burrow’s contract and officially signing second-round draft pick Cashius Howell.

The bigger headline is Burrow’s contract restructure. Reports indicate the Bengals converted a portion of his 2026 salary into a signing bonus, creating valuable salary cap space after one of the most aggressive offseasons in franchise history.
Cincinnati entered the offseason determined to rebuild its defense while keeping the core of its championship-caliber offense intact. The Bengals added major defensive pieces including Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen, Boye Mafe, and Bryan Cook earlier this spring, but those moves tightened the team’s cap situation considerably.
By restructuring Burrow’s deal, the Bengals gain immediate flexibility without losing their franchise quarterback or sacrificing future competitiveness. It’s a move elite NFL teams make regularly, and it shows Cincinnati is evolving financially alongside the league’s more aggressive front offices. The restructure also reinforces Burrow’s commitment to winning. While restructures don’t reduce a player’s total earnings, they often require cooperation and trust between the organization and its star quarterback.
Just a few weeks ago, reports suggested there had been little to no discussion regarding a restructure. That changed quickly once the Bengals finalized their offseason plans and evaluated remaining roster needs heading into training camp.
The other major move was the signing of Cashius Howell, the explosive edge rusher selected 41st overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. Howell was one of college football’s fastest-rising defenders after transferring from Bowling Green to Texas A&M, where he developed into an SEC Defensive Player of the Year and unanimous All-American.
At 6-foot-2 and roughly 255 pounds, Howell brings burst, bend, and pass-rushing production to a Bengals defensive front that suddenly looks far deeper than it did a year ago. His signing also means all seven Bengals draft picks are now officially under contract before the heart of offseason workouts.
The combination of Burrow’s restructure and Howell’s signing paints a clear picture: Cincinnati believes its Super Bowl window is open right now. The Bengals are no longer operating cautiously. They’re pushing chips to the center of the table and building around Burrow with urgency.
The Cincinnati Bengals continue to get good news this offseason, and the latest development could have a major impact on the AFC North. Myles Garrett has officially been traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Los Angeles Rams, meaning Joe Burrow and the Bengals no longer have to face the NFL's most dominant defensive player twice every season.

In today's video, we break down the blockbuster Myles Garrett trade and discuss what it means for the Bengals, Browns, Rams, and the rest of the NFL. Garrett has been a nightmare matchup for Cincinnati throughout his career, recording 16 sacks against the Bengals and consistently forcing offensive game plan adjustments. With Garrett now headed to Los Angeles, does Cincinnati gain a significant advantage in the AFC North race?
We also examine why everything seems to be falling into place for the Bengals this offseason. From major roster additions like Dexter Lawrence, Boye Mafe, Jonathan Allen, Bryant Cook, Kyle Dugger, and Jaire Taylor to an easier schedule and improved roster depth, Cincinnati appears poised to make a serious Super Bowl run. Add in coaching changes across the division and the departure of Trey Hendrickson, and the Bengals may be entering the 2026 season in the best position they've been in during years.
Plus, we analyze the Rams' aggressive move to acquire Garrett, whether Cleveland received enough compensation in return, the future of Jared Verse, and how this trade could reshape the NFL playoff picture.
Do you think the Bengals are now the favorites to win the AFC North? Did the Rams win the trade, or did the Browns make the right long-term decision?

Kris Jenkins Jr. could emerge as a trade candidate for the Cincinnati Bengals because of the changing makeup of the team's defensive line and questions about his long-term role. A second-round pick in 2024, Jenkins has shown flashes as a run defender and rotational interior lineman, but he has yet to develop into the disruptive three-down force Cincinnati hoped for when it drafted him. Through his first two seasons, he improved statistically, but his pass-rush production and overall impact have remained inconsistent.

The biggest factor is roster construction. The Bengals dramatically upgraded their defensive front by acquiring Dexter Lawrence and adding veteran talent around him, creating a crowded defensive tackle room. With Lawrence, established veterans, and other contributors competing for snaps, Jenkins could find himself lower on the depth chart than expected for a recent second-round selection.
From Cincinnati's perspective, trading Jenkins could help recover draft capital while capitalizing on the league-wide belief that he still possesses upside. Some analysts have suggested that teams that graded him highly coming out of college could view him as a worthwhile reclamation project and potentially offer a mid-round draft pick in return.
That said, a trade is far from certain. Jenkins is only 24 years old, has nearly 1,000 career defensive snaps, and remains a developmental player with room to grow. The Bengals may ultimately decide that his age, affordability, and potential are more valuable than the draft compensation they would receive.

Reid pops in your feed to complain about Colin Cowherd's Top 10 Offseason moves list... which left off Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals.
Day 1 of Cincinnati Bengals OTAs had the usual early-offseason tone: installation work, light competitive periods, and a heavy emphasis on communication rather than contact. With most veterans easing back into rhythm and younger players trying to carve out roles, two names that stood out in the early narrative were tight end Erick All and safety Bryan Cook.

For Erick All, the biggest storyline remains health and availability. The Bengals are still easing him through the early stages of ramp-up work after his injury recovery, and Day 1 reflected that cautious approach. He participated in walkthrough segments and individual drills, showing smooth movement in route trees and clean hands during positional work. Coaches were clearly intentional about limiting exposure, but All’s fluidity stood out. Even in a non-contact setting, he showed natural leverage as a route runner in the short and intermediate areas—exactly where Cincinnati hopes to integrate him into the offense as a versatile tight end option. The sense around him is that OTAs will be less about production and more about stacking consistent, healthy reps.
On the defensive side, Bryan Cook was one of the more active communicators in the secondary. While OTAs don’t reveal full schematic deployment, Cook spent much of the session aligning the defensive backfield, pointing out adjustments pre-snap, and rotating through multiple safety looks. His presence in coverage shells suggested the Bengals are exploring him in a flexible role, potentially rotating between deep safety and box responsibilities depending on personnel groupings. He also showed strong anticipation in team walkthroughs, jumping routes in a controlled setting and quickly resetting alignments after motion.
Overall, Day 1 for the Cincinnati Bengals was less about highlights and more about foundation-setting. But for Erick All and Bryan Cook, it was an early glimpse of how each could fit: All as a developing offensive weapon still building toward full participation, and Cook as a stabilizing, vocal piece in a reshaped.

At his annual youth football camp at Sycamore High School over the weekend, Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase addressed one of the biggest storylines of the team's offseason: his absence from voluntary Organized Team Activities (OTAs). With fans and media questioning why he has not participated in recent practices, Chase made it clear that his decision is part of a personal training plan rather than any dispute with the organization.

Speaking to reporters at the camp, Chase said his focus has been on preparing his body for the long NFL season ahead. "Right now, I'm just trying to get in shape," Chase explained, adding that he expects to return to the team soon. He stressed that the time away should not be viewed as a lack of commitment, but rather as a way to give his body additional recovery after another demanding season.
Chase also pushed back against any suggestion that he is doing something inappropriate by skipping the voluntary sessions. "I'm not doing anything wrong," he said. "I make sure I talk back with the team and give them information." According to Chase, he has remained in communication with coaches and teammates throughout the offseason and continues to stay informed on the team's plans.
His comments appear to support reports that the absence is unrelated to contract issues. Unlike his 2024 contract-related holdout, this situation is viewed as a veteran player following an individualized offseason program. Bengals coaches have not publicly expressed concern, and Chase indicated that both coaches and teammates can vouch for the work he has been doing away from team facilities.
For now, Chase's message was straightforward: he is focused on conditioning, maintaining communication with the organization, and preparing to rejoin the Bengals when the time is right.

Is Zac Taylor officially on the hot seat entering the 2026 NFL season? With two years remaining on his contract and expectations rising around Joe Burrow, this season could determine the future direction of the Bengals organization. We break down why this year feels different and what needs to happen for Zac Taylor to earn an extension.
We also discuss the ongoing debate around Joe Burrow’s play style and injuries. Should Burrow change the way he plays football to stay healthy? Or would that take away what makes him one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL? We explain why the Bengals offense works the way it does and whether changes are coming in 2026.
Plus, we talk about the growing buzz around rookie defensive lineman Shemar Stewart and why Bengals fans are starting to get excited about his development this offseason. We also touch on Ja'Marr Chase missing voluntary OTAs, his cryptic tweet, and whether Bengals fans should actually be concerned.

Burrow continues to show why he is one of the biggest stars in the NFL and one of the fiercest competitors in sports. Despite the fame, endorsements, and massive contract, the Bengals franchise quarterback is still obsessed with perfecting his craft and chasing a Super Bowl. Could 2026 end up being the best season of Joe Burrow’s career? We discuss why that’s a real possibility.
We also dive into Shamar Stewart’s comments about finally slowing the game down mentally after a difficult rookie season. With improved confidence, better coaching continuity, and elite talent surrounding him on the defensive line, Stewart could be primed for a major leap in Year 2.

Bill Barnwell created plenty of debate when he labeled the Cincinnati Bengals trade for Dexter Lawrence their worst move of the offseason. The Bengals sent the No. 10 overall pick to the New York Giants in exchange for the star defensive tackle, then handed Lawrence a lucrative extension to anchor the middle of their defense. On paper, it looks like an aggressive all-in move by a franchise trying to maximize the championship window around quarterback Joe Burrow. Barnwell, however, believes the price was simply too steep.

Barnwell’s main criticism centers on value. NFL teams rarely trade a top-10 draft pick for a veteran player, especially one nearing 30 years old and already on a massive contract. He pointed out that only a handful of similar trades have happened over the last quarter century, comparing it to splashy but risky deals involving players like Randy Moss and Russell Wilson. From his perspective, the Bengals sacrificed long-term roster flexibility for a short-term gamble.
There is also concern about timing. Lawrence is still one of the league’s best interior defenders, but he is coming off what some analysts described as the weakest season of his recent career. Cincinnati now has significant money tied up in Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and other stars, making depth harder to maintain. Barnwell argued the Bengals could have stayed at No. 10 and drafted a younger, cheaper defensive cornerstone such as Caleb Downs or Ruben Bain Jr. while still adding another contributor later in the draft.
Still, not everyone agrees with Barnwell. Many analysts and fans see the move as exactly the kind of bold swing Cincinnati needed after years of defensive struggles. Lawrence immediately upgrades the run defense and gives the Bengals a dominant interior force capable of changing games. The trade is risky, but it also signals urgency from a franchise determined to compete for a Super Bowl right now.
Joe Burrow contract restructure rumors are heating up after a new report from Charlie Clifford of WLWT revealed that the Cincinnati Bengals are not expected to restructure Burrow’s deal ahead of the 2026 NFL season. In today’s episode, we break down what that means for the Bengals salary cap, why Cincinnati may be choosing patience over aggression, and whether the front office is making the right long-term decision.

Right now, the Bengals only have around $7 million in cap space, and restructuring Joe Burrow’s contract could reportedly create nearly $19 million in additional room. That extra flexibility could help Cincinnati extend key young players like Dax Hill, DJ Turner, and Chase Brown while also adding depth at linebacker or offensive tackle.
So why aren’t the Bengals following the blueprint used by teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, and Philadelphia Eagles? Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Jared Goff have all seen their contracts restructured to help their teams stay aggressive. Could Cincinnati eventually do the same with Burrow in 2027, 2028, and beyond?
We discuss the pros and cons of restructuring Burrow’s contract, how it impacts the Bengals’ future cap situation, and whether waiting could actually cost the franchise more money down the road if players like Chase Brown or Dax Hill break out in 2026.
We also react to the Bengals’ aggressive offseason moves, including additions like Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen, Kyle Dugger, and more, while asking the big question every Bengals fan is wondering: why won’t Cincinnati restructure Joe Burrow’s contract like the NFL’s elite organizations do every year?

In Joe Burrow’s first full press conference with the Cincinnati media since the end of the 2025 season, the Bengals quarterback looked and sounded like the confident superstar fans remember from the team’s 2021 and 2022 Super Bowl runs. From calling his shot about winning a Super Bowl to praising the Bengals’ aggressive offseason moves, Burrow delivered one of his most telling media appearances in years.
In this podcast, we break down all the biggest takeaways from Burrow’s press conference, including his comments on the Bengals trading for Dexter Lawrence, adding Brian Cook and Boye Mafe, and why he believes this is the best roster Cincinnati has had since he arrived. We also discuss Burrow’s confidence, swagger, leadership, and why many fans are saying this feels like “old Joe” again.
We also dive into:
Joe Burrow predicting a Super Bowl run
His comments about Trey Hendrickson joining the Ravens
Why the Bengals offense could become explosive again
Joe Flacco returning as backup QB
The Bengals finally going all-in around Burrow

We dive into why this ranking makes absolutely no sense when you consider Taylor’s résumé: two AFC Championship appearances, a Super Bowl appearance, and a 5-2 playoff record with the Bengals. Is Zac Taylor a top-10 NFL head coach? Maybe not. But ranking him behind coaches with little or ZERO head coaching experience? That’s where things get ridiculous.
We compare Taylor’s ranking against names like Brian Schottenheimer, Jesse Minter, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Shane Steichen, Todd Bowles, Dan Quinn, and more. Why are unproven coaches being placed ahead of a coach who has already led Cincinnati deep into the playoffs multiple times?
We also discuss:
Why Bengals players still believe in Zac Taylor
Whether Joe Burrow’s greatness impacts how Taylor is viewed nationally
The pressure facing first-year NFL head coaches in 2026
Why this ranking could become bulletin board material for Cincinnati
The national perception of the Bengals heading into the upcoming season
Whether the Bengals can bounce back into AFC contention
If you’re a Bengals fan, NFL fan, or someone who follows NFL coaching discussions, this is a must-watch conversation. The Bengals continue to be one of the most talked-about teams in the NFL, and this latest ranking has sparked major debate across football media.

Burrow made it clear that the Bengals organization has done its part this offseason by surrounding him with talent and proven winners. From the blockbuster addition of Dexter Lawrence to signing veterans like Jonathan Allen, Bryan Cook, and Boye Mafe, Cincinnati has completely reshaped the identity of this defense. Joe Burrow believes the leadership and vibe inside the locker room has already changed, and that could be the key to getting the Bengals back into Super Bowl contention.
We also discuss why the pressure is now officially on Burrow, Zac Taylor, and the coaching staff to deliver results on the field. The Bengals front office gave this team everything it needs to compete in the AFC North and make a deep playoff run. Can Cincinnati finally capitalize on its championship window with Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins leading the way?
Plus, we dive into Joe Burrow’s thoughts on the Bengals schedule, the lack of primetime games, the Madrid international matchup, and why Cincinnati still has the potential to become one of the NFL’s marquee franchises despite being a small-market team.

In today’s episode, we break down the pros and cons of the NFL continuing to expand globally. From the league’s nonstop push for growth and revenue to the possibility of eventually having a permanent overseas franchise, there are some exciting opportunities — and some serious concerns.
We discuss why Joe Burrow reportedly wanted the Madrid game, the NFL’s growing international schedule, and concerns about teams eventually moving overseas. We also dive into why Bengals season ticket holders may not be thrilled about losing future home games to international matchups and why Cincinnati could actually benefit competitively from playing Atlanta in Spain instead of Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
There’s also the bigger picture of what this means for the Bengals brand internationally. The NFL clearly sees global expansion as a major priority, and having stars like Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins on an international stage only helps grow the franchise worldwide.
We also talk about whether the NFL could eventually push international expansion too far and how much influence franchise quarterbacks like Burrow may actually have when these decisions are made.
Plus, we look at the Bengals’ recent history against the Falcons and why Cincinnati should feel confident heading into the matchup.

Stone Shields and Craig Sandlin react to the Bengals' breaking news of the day: Cincinnati declining Myles Murphy's fifth-year option.
The Cincinnati Bengals’ decision not to pick up Myles Murphy’s fifth-year option is less about giving up on the player and more about financial strategy and long-term roster planning. On the surface, it might look surprising—especially coming off Murphy’s most productive season—but the context makes the move more understandable.
Today's video is presented by QC Kinetix! Call (513) 655-3356 or visit qckinetix.com to learn more
First, the economics played a major role. Murphy’s fifth-year option for 2027 would have cost roughly $14.5 million, fully guaranteed . For a player who has shown flashes but hasn’t yet become a consistent elite edge rusher, that’s a significant commitment. While Murphy posted career highs in 2025 with 52 tackles and 5.5 sacks, his production still falls short of top-tier pass rushers who command that level of salary . From a value standpoint, the Bengals likely felt that number didn’t align with his current impact.
However, declining the option doesn’t mean Cincinnati wants to move on. In fact, reports indicate the team is interested in negotiating a long-term extension instead . This approach gives the Bengals more flexibility. Rather than locking into a one-year, fully guaranteed deal at a fixed price, they can structure a multi-year contract that better reflects Murphy’s role and potential while managing salary cap space.
Cap management is especially important given Cincinnati’s recent investments across the roster, particularly on the defensive line . By declining the option, they avoid a large future cap hit and retain the ability to allocate resources more efficiently.
There’s also a timing element. Murphy is still just entering his prime, and the Bengals may want another season to evaluate whether his late-2025 surge is sustainable. If he takes another step forward, they can extend him as a core piece. If not, they maintain flexibility without being locked into a premium salary.
Ultimately, this decision reflects a calculated bet: the Bengals believe in Murphy’s upside, but they prefer to control the terms of that investment rather than commit to a fixed, high-cost option too early.

Craig Sandlin and Stone Shields give their grades for every move the Cincinnati Bengals made during the 2026 NFL Draft and their overall grade on the class! The Cincinnati Bengals entered the 2026 NFL Draft without a first-round pick after trading the No. 10 overall selection to the New York Giants for star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence. This aggressive preseason move upgraded the interior defensive line immediately, setting the tone for an offseason focused on bolstering a defense that ranked near the bottom of the league in 2025 (second-worst total defense and third-worst scoring defense). With seven picks remaining, the Bengals prioritized pass rush, secondary depth, and offensive line/tight end support for quarterback Joe Burrow. The resulting class earned strong reviews.
Craig Sandlin breaks down the Bengals day 3 draft picks with a focus on round 7 picks Jack Endries and Landon Robinson! The Cincinnati Bengals finalized their 2026 NFL Draft class by focusing on high-upside value and positional depth in the seventh round, selecting Texas tight end Jack Endries (No. 221 overall) and Navy defensive tackle Landon Robinson (No. 226 overall). These picks aimed to bolster Joe Burrow’s offensive weaponry and add disruptive energy to the defensive line, respectively.
Craig Sandlin breaks down the Cincinnati Bengals selection of Brian Parker II, an offensive lineman from Duke, with the 189th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The selection represents a homecoming for Parker, a Cincinnati native who played high school football at St. Xavier.
Craig Sandlin and Andrew Collinsworth discuss the Bengals 4th round draft pick, 140 overall, Colbie Young, WR, Georgia. The Cincinnati Bengals bolstered their receiving corps in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting Georgia wide receiver Colbie Young with the 140th overall pick. Standing at 6-foot-4 and 218 pounds, Young represents a high-upside developmental addition for a Cincinnati offense looking to add depth behind stars Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
Craig Sandlin and Andrew Collinsworth discuss the Bengals 4th round draft pick, Connor Lew. In a move aimed at bolstering their interior offensive line depth, the Cincinnati Bengals selected Auburn center Connor Lew in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Considered a highly technical and intelligent center, Lew brings extensive SEC experience to Cincinnati, having broken into the starting lineup as a true freshman and starting 25 games over his three-year career with the Tigers. This selection aligns with the Bengals’ strategy to fortify the trenches in front of Joe Burrow, ensuring long-term stability and contingency for their offensive line.
Craig Sandlin and Andrew Collinsworth break down the surprising pick by the Cincinnati Bengals when they selected CB, Tacario Davis with the 72nd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The guys discuss Davis' athletic profile and his lack of significant production at the collegiate level. They also discuss how he fits into the Bengals and why he was the pick over Jermod McCoy.
Craig Sandlin and Stone Shields break down the Bengals selection of Texas A&M Edge Cashius Howell with the 41st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. They discuss his collegiate stats, film breakdown, and his former teammate Shemar Stewart. Additionally, look ahead to some names that could be intriguing to the Bengals in the 3rd round.
The Chatterbox Bengals crew breaks down the Bengals acquisition for DT Dexter Lawrence. Cincinnati sent the New York Giants the 10th overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft in exchange for Lawrence. The gang reacts to the trade, what it means for Dexter Lawrence, and the signal it sends to the team and the entire NFL.
Reid and Craig talk about the proposition of the Bengals selecting LSU All-American Mansoor Delane in the draft.
Cincinnati Bengals are trading for Joe Flacco! The Chatterbox Bengals crew breaks down the news.
The Cincinnati Bengals’ decision to trade for Joe Flacco in October 2025 sent shockwaves through the AFC North, a desperate move to salvage a season teetering on the brink. With star quarterback Joe Burrow sidelined since Week 2 with a toe injury, the Bengals’ offense has collapsed, and backup Jake Browning’s abysmal performances forced the front office’s hand. The trade, a 2026 fifth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for Flacco and a sixth-rounder, is a low-risk swing for a franchise staring down a brutal schedule, including a looming Thursday night clash with the Steelers.
Flacco, now 40, brings a grizzled veteran presence to a locker room reeling from three straight blowout losses. Browning’s numbers tell a grim story: 64.5% completion for 757 yards, six touchdowns, and eight interceptions, with the offense failing to score over 24 points in any game without Burrow. The Bengals’ once-explosive attack, built around Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, has sputtered, crippled by 12 sacks allowed in three weeks. Flacco, a former Super Bowl MVP, offers a steady hand and a live arm, even if his 2025 stint in Cleveland was rocky—58.1% completion for 815 yards, two touchdowns, and six interceptions in four starts before being benched for a rookie. Still, his game-winning drive against Green Bay in Week 3 showed he can still deliver in clutch moments.
Head coach Zac Taylor, under fire for the team’s slide, called Flacco a “pro’s pro” whose leadership and quick grasp of the playbook could spark a turnaround. At a prorated $3.5 million salary, Flacco is a cost-effective stopgap, especially with Burrow’s massive $55 million-per-year deal looming large. The hope is Flacco can stabilize the pocket, get the ball to Chase and Higgins, and keep Cincinnati competitive until Burrow returns, potentially in November. A favorable upcoming stretch—games against the Giants and Commanders—offers a chance to right the ship.
Fans, however, are skeptical, their frustration palpable on social media. The Bengals’ injury curse feels like a cruel joke, and trading for another aging quarterback named Joe has sparked dark humor. Some see Flacco as a placeholder who can’t replicate Burrow’s magic; others fear he’s a Band-Aid on a broken roster. Critics point to his Cleveland struggles, arguing his interception-prone play and limited mobility won’t survive behind Cincinnati’s porous offensive line. Yet, supporters counter that Flacco’s experience in high-pressure situations could be the jolt this team needs to avoid a lost season.
The trade’s success hinges on Flacco’s ability to adapt quickly and Taylor’s willingness to tailor the offense to his strengths—quick reads and deep shots. If Flacco can channel his 2012 Ravens form, even briefly, the Bengals might steal a few wins and stay in the playoff hunt. If not, this move could be another chapter in Cincinnati’s long history of quarterback woes, leaving fans dreaming of Burrow’s return while cursing the present. For now, all eyes are on Flacco as he steps into the Bengals’ jungle.

What a brutal day in Cincinnati football history! In a matchup that had all the makings of a gritty NFC North vs. AFC North showdown, the Minnesota Vikings turned U.S. Bank Stadium into a house of horrors for the visiting Bengals, delivering a 48-10 thrashing that stands as the worst defeat in franchise history. With a 38-point margin eclipsing any previous low (previously 37 points on four occasions), this Week 3 disaster leaves the Bengals at 1-2, licking their wounds and desperately missing Joe Burrow. If you're a Who Dey fan, grab the tissues—this highlight reel captures every gut punch, from defensive pick-sixes to fumble-induced nightmares. The game kicked off with high hopes for Cincinnati, riding a 2-1 start but reeling from Burrow's season-altering toe surgery that sidelined their star QB for at least three months. Enter Jake Browning, the familiar face who once screamed "They never should've cut me!" after a 27-24 OT upset over these same Vikings in 2023. But karma—or perhaps just superior talent—had other plans. Browning, starting his second stint as the emergency signal-caller, looked rattled from the jump, finishing 14-of-28 for 173 yards, one TD, and two costly interceptions. His first pick, snagged by Vikings CB Isaiah Rodgers and returned 87 yards for a pick-six, set the tone just minutes into the first quarter, putting Minnesota up 7-0 and silencing the traveling Bengal faithful. As the highlights roll, you'll see how the Vikings' defense feasted on Cincinnati's turnover-prone offense. The Bengals coughed up the ball five times total—three fumbles lost and two INTs—turning potential drives into purple-and-gold points. Rodgers, in a performance for the ages, etched his name in NFL lore as the first player ever to notch a pick-6, a fumble-return TD, and two forced fumbles in a single game. His second score came on a 66-yard fumble return off TE Noah Fant's strip-sack in the second quarter, ballooning the lead to 24-3. And don't sleep on that third forced fumble—he jarred the ball loose from WR Ja'Marr Chase's hands, leading to another Vikings recovery. Chase, normally a matchup nightmare, was held to just 62 yards on five catches, a far cry from his Burrow-fueled explosions. On the flip side, Carson Wentz's debut under center for Minnesota (now 2-1 after J.J. McCarthy's ankle sprain) was a revelation. The veteran went 18-of-25 for 248 yards and three TDs, spreading the ball to T.J. Hockenson (5 rec, 78 yds, 1 TD) and a breakout Jordan Addison (6 rec, 102 yds). Wentz's surgical 5-yard dart to Hockenson in the fourth quarter pushed the score to 48-7, a dagger that had Vikings fans chanting for the backup. But the ground game stole the show: RB Jordan Mason bulldozed for 116 yards and two rushing TDs on 16 carries, including a 22-yard scamper that capped a 75-yard drive. The Vikings' O-line, anchored by Christian Darrisaw, gave Wentz all day, amassing 185 rushing yards as a team—exploiting a Bengals run D that entered the game allowing a league-worst 2.4 yards per carry? Wait, no—that was Cincy's offense struggling on the ground. Irony at its finest. Defensively, Brian Flores' Vikings unit was a swarm, holding Browning's crew to 10 points while forcing those five turnovers. The secondary, led by Rodgers' heroics, blanketed Chase and Tee Higgins (3 rec, 41 yds), and the front seven stuffed the run for just 52 yards. For the Bengals, it wasn't all doom—TE Drew Sample hauled in a 12-yard TD from Browning in the fourth for their lone score, and the D snagged a late INT from Wentz. But penalties like Dax Hill's illegal block (15 yards) and a too-many-men flag only compounded the misery. Samaje Perine exited early with a thumb injury after fumbling, and Fant entered concussion protocol post-strip. Relive the agony (or glory, Vikings fans) with these timestamped highlights: 0:00 - Rodgers' 87-yard pick-six; 2:15 - Mason's first TD rumble; 5:30 - Fant fumble return for six; 8:45 - Reichard's record 62-yard FG at halftime (31-3 lead); 12:20 - Hockenson's TD seal; 15:10 - Sample's consolation score. Post-game reactions from Zac Taylor (stoic presser on Burrow's void) and Kevin O'Connell (praising Wentz's poise) included. This loss drops Cincinnati into a tie atop the AFC North but exposes glaring holes without Burrow—turnover differential now -4, time of possession a dismal 24:18. Can Browning rally them against the Titans next? Vikings, meanwhile, surge with Wentz balling out. Drop your hot takes in the comments: Was this Burrow's absence or Flores' scheme?

The Cincinnati Bengals' decision to roster eight offensive linemen and eleven defensive linemen for the 2025 season reflects strategic priorities shaped by past performance and current roster dynamics. This allocation, finalized during the August 2025 roster cuts, deviates from the NFL norm, where teams typically carry ten offensive linemen. The choice to keep only eight—Orlando Brown Jr., Amarius Mims, Ted Karras, Lucas Patrick, Dylan Fairchild, Cody Ford, Jalen Rivers, and Matt Lee—signals confidence in their starting unit but raises concerns about depth, especially at right guard, where injuries have historically been problematic. This lean approach suggests the Bengals are banking on versatility from players like Ford and Fairchild or plan to address depth via the waiver wire or practice squad elevations.

Conversely, the decision to carry eleven defensive linemen, including six defensive tackles, stems from a deliberate focus on bolstering a unit that struggled last season, ranking 25th in yards and points allowed. Head coach Zac Taylor emphasized depth due to prior injuries, prioritizing players like Trey Hendrickson, Shemar Stewart, and B.J. Hill to fortify the front. This heavy investment aims to improve run defense and pass-rush consistency, addressing a weakness exposed in 2024. The Bengals' defensive overhaul, including new coordinator Al Golden, underscores a commitment to a robust front line, even at the expense of other positions like tight end, where they kept five players.
This roster construction reflects a calculated risk: sacrificing offensive line depth for defensive line strength. While the Bengals trust their offensive starters, led by Joe Burrow, the thin margin for error could be tested by injuries. Meanwhile, the defensive emphasis aims to elevate a unit critical to competing in the AFC North, balancing immediate needs with long-term potential.

Bengals #BengalsRumors #BengalsNews
Trey Hendrickson's new deal with the Cincinnati Bengals marks the end of a protracted and contentious contract standoff that dominated the team's offseason. On August 25, 2025, the Bengals and the All-Pro defensive end agreed to a reworked one-year contract for the 2025 season, boosting his salary by $14 million to a total of $30 million. This adjustment elevates Hendrickson to one of the NFL's highest-paid edge rushers, aligning his compensation with his elite production. The deal includes $29 million in base pay, plus a $1 million incentive bonus if he plays at least 60% of defensive snaps and the Bengals reach the playoffs—thresholds he's easily surpassed in prior seasons.

Hendrickson, who turns 31 in December, had been holding out since May, publicly stating he wouldn't play under his original $15.8 million base salary from a 2023 extension. Frustrated by stalled negotiations and the Bengals' reluctance to offer long-term guarantees, he sought a multi-year extension worth around $95 million over three years, but with insufficient security beyond 2025. The Bengals, known for fiscal conservatism, allowed him to explore trades in March and August, fielding offers from teams like the Panthers, Browns, and Colts, but no deals materialized. Instead, they prioritized resolving the impasse to bolster a defense that ranked poorly in 2024 despite Hendrickson's league-leading 17.5 sacks.
Since joining Cincinnati as a free agent in 2021 on a four-year, $60 million pact, Hendrickson has amassed 57 sacks, earned four straight Pro Bowls, and secured first-team All-Pro honors in 2024. His 35 sacks over the last two seasons underscore his value as the Bengals' premier pass-rusher under new coordinator Al Golden. This "prove-it" year keeps Hendrickson motivated, potentially setting up free agency in 2026 or a franchise tag. For the Bengals, it's a short-term win, ensuring their title aspirations remain intact with Joe Burrow's offense intact. Yet, the drawn-out drama highlights ongoing tensions in Cincinnati's front office, where star players like Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins recently inked massive extensions. Hendrickson's deal, while lucrative, leaves his future uncertain, but for now, Who Dey Nation breathes easier.

Craig Sandlin, Reid Maus, and Andrew Collinsworth react LIVE to the news of Trey Hendrickson's new one-year contract. They discuss the details of the new contract, who won the negotiation, and expectations for Trey.
Craig Sandlin and Mike Hart break down an ugly preseason game that saw the Bengals fall 41-14 to the Colts. They dive into the Desmond Ridders performance, defensive depth chart, and wide receiver battle. The pair then looks ahead to the season regular season opener at the Cleveland Browns on September 7.
The Cincinnati Bengals' defense showcased its potential during the final training camp practice on August 21, 2025, allowing just one touchdown in a 35-play scrimmage against a potent Joe Burrow-led offense. The lone score was a 42-yard seam pass to Isaiah Williams, but the defense otherwise stood firm, with standout plays like a batted ball by rookie Shemar Stewart and a fourth-and-goal stop by Kris Jenkins Jr. and Oren Burks. Defensive coordinator Al Golden praised the unit’s energy and competitiveness, emphasizing their ability to make game-changing plays like red-zone stops and takeaways, signaling a promising evolution from last season’s struggles.

Joe Burrow has enjoyed his healthiest training camp yet, a stark contrast to previous years marred by injuries like a torn ACL, appendicitis, and a wrist issue. His uninterrupted offseason has allowed him to fine-tune the offense, highlighted by precise throws and audibles that exploit defensive looks. Burrow’s command was evident in a routine snap where he adjusted to a linebacker’s movement, showcasing his elite decision-making. This continuity has the Bengals optimistic about avoiding slow starts, with Burrow confidently stating he’s playing better than any quarterback in the NFL right now.
The right guard position remains a battleground, with Lucas Patrick, Cody Ford, and rookie Jalen Rivers vying for the starting role. Patrick, a veteran, has faced scrutiny after being replaced by Rivers in a preseason game, with his pass protection under question. Rivers, a fifth-round pick, impressed with strong run-blocking grades, while Ford’s versatility as a swing tackle adds depth. With Cordell Volson out for the season, the competition intensifies, as protecting Burrow is paramount for Cincinnati’s Super Bowl aspirations.

Bengals #BengalsRumors #BengalsNews
This week, Colin Cowherd, host of FS1’s The Herd, expressed skepticism about the Cincinnati Bengals’ Super Bowl contender status despite their 31-17 preseason win over the Washington Commanders. Cowherd argued that the Bengals lack the organizational depth and structure required to compete with elite NFL teams. He criticized their frugal approach, particularly their handling of key players like Trey Hendrickson, suggesting they “pinch pennies” and fail to maximize their roster around star quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. Cowherd stated, “It’s just too lopsided of an organization. It’s Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and everything else,” implying the team relies heavily on its stars without sufficient support.
For the best Bengals coverage, sub today! http://youtube.com/chatterboxsports
He compared the Bengals unfavorably to successful franchises like the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs, which boast strong ownership, coaching, and management. Cowherd highlighted the Bengals’ lack of a true general manager and limited scouting staff—four scouts compared to the Philadelphia Eagles’ 21—as evidence of their organizational shortcomings. He believes this lack of infrastructure hinders their ability to build a well-rounded team, especially as Burrow’s contract demands increase.
Cowherd also noted that without Hendrickson, the Bengals’ defense could be among the league’s worst, a vulnerability exposed in their preseason performance. Despite Burrow’s leadership and talent, Cowherd warned that the Bengals’ failure to address these issues could lead to ongoing struggles, echoing his earlier prediction that Burrow might eventually demand a trade due to frustration with the team’s management. While acknowledging their talent, Cowherd remains unconvinced the Bengals are doing enough to capitalize on their window of opportunity, a sentiment that has sparked debate among fans.

Bengals #BengalsRumors #ColinCowherd
The Cincinnati Bengals' offensive line faces a significant setback with guard Cordell Volson's shoulder injury, which requires surgery and is expected to sideline him for the entire 2025 season. Volson, a three-year starter with 48 games under his belt, suffered the injury earlier this month, prompting head coach Zac Taylor to confirm the grim outlook during a press conference. This loss exacerbates concerns for quarterback Joe Burrow's protection, especially as the team manages other injuries like those to Lucas Patrick and Cody Ford.
For the best Bengals coverage, sub today! http://youtube.com/chatterboxsports
In response, the Bengals hosted free-agent guard Dalton Risner for a visit on August 19, viewing him as a potential plug-and-play replacement to bolster the line. Reports describe the meeting as "strong" and positive, but no deal was reached, with Risner set to visit the Seattle Seahawks and possibly the Pittsburgh Steelers before deciding. Risner, a veteran from the Vikings, could provide immediate stability if signed.
Meanwhile, Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson remains at the center of trade rumors amid a contract stalemate lacking desired guarantees. The Las Vegas Raiders have emerged as frontrunners, with Cincinnati seeking a young defensive player and a 2026 first-round pick in return. Joe Burrow downplayed concerns, expressing confidence in resolution, but negotiations have stalled.

Bengals #BengalsRumors #BengalsInjuryNews
Last night, the Cincinnati Bengals secured a 31-17 preseason victory over the Washington Commanders, improving to 1-1. The game showcased a mix of offensive brilliance and defensive struggles, with wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley emerging as a standout. Tinsley, a 2023 undrafted free agent who signed with the Bengals in February 2025 after two seasons with the Commanders, stole the show in the first half. He hauled in five catches for 73 yards, including two spectacular touchdown receptions just 20 seconds apart in the second quarter. His first score, a 13-yard back-shoulder catch, and the second, a toe-tap touchdown, demonstrated his strong hands, body control, and field awareness. Bengals coach Zac Taylor called him a “baller,” and quarterback Joe Burrow praised his camp performance, suggesting Tinsley likely secured a roster spot despite the team’s deep receiver corps, including Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

However, the Bengals’ first-team defense struggled significantly, continuing a concerning preseason trend. They allowed three touchdowns and a field goal in their first four drives, with Washington’s starting offense, led by Jayden Daniels, exploiting gaps. The defense’s performance was described as “listless” and “woeful,” raising concerns as the regular season nears on September 7. A bright spot came from linebacker Barrett Carter, whose second-quarter interception set up one of Tinsley’s scores, showing potential for the rookie.
Overall, while the Bengals’ offense, driven by Burrow’s efficient 9-of-14 passing for 62 yards and a touchdown, and Tinsley’s heroics, provided optimism, the defense’s inability to stop Washington’s starters remains a glaring issue. With roster cuts looming, Tinsley’s breakout performance may have cemented his place, but the defense needs urgent improvement.

Reid Maus and Craig Sandlin discuss Joe Burrow playing hero ball, the Mitchell Tensley game, and more on this addition of Chatterbox Bengals.
The Cincinnati Bengals are hosting veteran guard Dalton Risner for a free-agent visit tomorrow, a move aimed at bolstering their struggling offensive line. Risner, a 30-year-old former second-round pick, started 81 games for the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings, including nine at right guard in 2024. His pass-protection prowess, with zero sacks allowed and no penalties over 537 snaps last season, makes him an attractive solution for the Bengals’ right guard woes. Current options like Lucas Patrick and Cordell Volson have underperformed, with Patrick lackluster in preseason and Volson nursing a shoulder injury. Risner’s familiarity with Bengals’ pass game coordinator Justin Rascati and his expressed desire to join Cincinnati—he commented “Would LOVE to be a Bengal” on a TikTok video—suggest a potential seamless fit. Signing Risner could solidify the line protecting Joe Burrow, addressing a critical need as the season looms.

The Cincinnati Bengals are actively listening to trade offers for All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson, as contract talks have stalled, per Dianna Russini and NFL Network. The Bengals’ asking price is steep: a 2026 first-round pick and a young defensive player, not necessarily an edge rusher. Hendrickson, the 2024 NFL sack leader with 17.5 sacks, seeks a $30 million-plus annual extension with significant guarantees, but Cincinnati’s offer lacks the desired security. Teams like the Colts, Panthers, and 49ers have shown interest, but the high trade cost and contract demands make a deal challenging.
The Cleveland Browns have named 40-year-old Joe Flacco their starting quarterback for the 2025 season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals on September 7, as announced by head coach Kevin Stefanski. Flacco, a Super Bowl MVP, outshone Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders in a competitive camp, despite not playing in preseason games. His experience, with a 4-1 record in 2023 for Cleveland, and injury-free status secured the role. Flacco’s leadership and familiarity with Stefanski’s system were key.

Bengals #BengalsRumors #DaltonRisner
Craig Sandlin breaks down the news that the Cincinnati Bengals are open to trading DE Trey Hendrickson.
On Sunday, August 17, 2025, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported that the Cincinnati Bengals are actively listening to trade offers for their star defensive end, Trey Hendrickson, amid a prolonged contract dispute. Hendrickson, a four-time Pro Bowler and the 2024 NFL sack leader with 17.5 sacks, is in the final year of his contract, set to earn $15.8 million in base salary. Seeking a new deal that reflects his elite status—potentially in the $32-33 million annual range, comparable to top edge rushers like T.J. Watt—Hendrickson and the Bengals have reached an impasse, primarily over guaranteed money beyond the first year of a potential extension.
The Bengals previously allowed Hendrickson to seek a trade before the 2025 NFL Draft, but no deal materialized due to the high asking price and the need for a new contract. Hendrickson, who skipped the offseason program and the first few days of training camp, ended his holdout on July 30 but has not practiced, instead mentoring younger players like first-round pick Shemar Stewart while negotiations stalled. His public stance has been clear: he will not play under his current deal, pushing for either a new contract or a trade.
This development is significant for the Bengals, a playoff-contending team reliant on Hendrickson’s pass-rushing prowess (83 pressures, 24% pass rush win rate in 2024). Trading him could weaken their defense, already a relative weak point compared to their dynamic Joe Burrow-led offense. Rapoport noted that any trade would be “expensive,” likely requiring a young player and a future draft pick, making it a challenging proposition for potential suitors. Teams like the Detroit Lions have been speculated as fits, but no deal is imminent.
Bengals owner Mike Brown expressed optimism in July about re-signing Hendrickson, but the shift to entertaining trade offers suggests a change in stance, possibly driven by the looming regular season and Hendrickson’s firm position. For Bengals fans, this news is concerning, as losing their best defender could disrupt their Super Bowl aspirations. The situation remains fluid, with time running out to resolve the standoff before the season begins.
The Cincinnati Bengals’ 2025 training camp has spotlighted intense position battles at right guard, cornerback, and tight end, each critical to the team’s success. Right Guard Battle: The competition for the starting right guard spot pits veteran Cody Ford against free-agent signing Lucas Patrick. Early in camp, Ford has taken the lead, bolstered by his performance last season and Patrick’s recent injury-related absence. ESPN’s Ben Baby notes Ford’s “inside track,” but Patrick’s experience and agility in pass protection make this a tight race. Rookie Jalen Rivers has also taken snaps at right guard, adding intrigue, though Ford’s consistency gives him the edge for now. The outcome will significantly impact quarterback Joe Burrow’s protection and the offensive line’s cohesion.

Cornerback Battle: The cornerback room is crowded, with Dax Hill, Cam Taylor-Britt, DJ Turner II, and Josh Newton vying for starting roles. Hill, recovering from an ACL injury, is a lock for the nickelback spot, while Taylor-Britt and Turner are projected starters on the outside. Newton, however, has emerged as a strong contender, impressing coaches with his versatility and earning first-team reps. DJ Ivey’s strong camp adds depth, but Newton’s momentum suggests he could claim a Week 1 starting role, especially in the slot, as noted by A to Z Sports. This battle will shape the Bengals’ secondary against high-powered passing offenses.
Tight End Battle: The tight end position features a unique dynamic, with Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, and newcomer Noah Fant competing for snaps. Sample excels as a blocker, Gesicki as a receiving threat, and Fant offers all-around potential. Per Stadium Rant, Fant could emerge as the primary option if he adapts quickly, while Gesicki’s slot role and Sample’s run-game contributions ensure all three see significant time.

Bengals #BengalsRumors #BengalsNews
The Cincinnati Bengals’ cornerback depth chart for the 2025 season reflects a blend of established starters, emerging talent, and depth pieces vying for roles. Based on recent depth charts, the team’s secondary is anchored by Cam Taylor-Britt and DJ Turner II as the starting outside cornerbacks. Taylor-Britt, a 2022 second-round pick, has solidified himself as a reliable CB1 with strong coverage skills, while Turner, a 2023 second-rounder, brings speed and upside to the CB2 role. Both are listed as starters across multiple sources, including ESPN and Bengals.com, indicating their entrenched roles.

Dax Hill, transitioning from safety to slot cornerback (nickel), is a notable name listed as the starting nickel back, despite recovering from an ACL injury. His versatility and athleticism make him a fit for the slot, with Josh Newton, a 2024 fifth-round pick, as his primary backup. Newton’s strong training camp has positioned him as a key reserve, potentially seeing significant snaps.
The depth includes DJ Ivey, Jalen Davis, and Marco Wilson. Ivey, a 2023 seventh-round pick, has become a reliable backup, playing in 19 games over two seasons and showing promise on special teams. Davis, a veteran, offers experience but is lower on the depth chart, primarily contributing in situational roles. Wilson, acquired via free agency, provides additional depth but is not a guaranteed roster lock.

Rookies like Lance Robinson and Nate Brooks are listed as deeper reserves, likely competing for practice squad spots or special teams roles. The Bengals’ cornerback group is young and dynamic, with Hill’s transition and Newton’s emergence as key storylines to watch.

Bengals #BengalsRumors #BengalsNews
On August 13, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals’ training camp saw its first significant scuffle after 14 practices, sparked by an incident involving rookie first-round pick Shemar Stewart and franchise quarterback Joe Burrow. During an 11-on-11 drill, Stewart, rushing from the left side, stumbled after a shove from guard Lucas Patrick and accidentally collided with Burrow, knocking him to the ground. Burrow quickly recovered, but the incident prompted an immediate reaction from the offensive line, particularly Patrick, who engaged Stewart in a heated scuffle to defend the team’s star quarterback. Center Ted Karras later emphasized the need to protect Burrow, stating, “That’s our hopes and dreams right there,” while acknowledging the offensive line’s responsibility to block better.

The altercation, though intense, didn’t halt practice or result in injuries, a critical relief given Burrow’s injury history and importance to the team. Patrick and Stewart clashed multiple times, but both players and coaches downplayed the incident as a typical training camp flare-up, fueled by heat and frustration after a tough day for the offense. The defensive front, including Stewart and TJ Slaton, dominated, with Slaton noting they could have recorded multiple sacks in a live game.
Karras and Patrick praised Stewart’s elite speed and potential, with Patrick noting, “There’s very few people on this planet who can cover ground like him.” Stewart, who declined to comment post-practice, later approached Burrow for a fist bump, signaling no lingering animosity. The incident underscored the team’s protective stance toward Burrow and highlighted areas for improvement, particularly for the offensive line, as they prepare for their preseason game against the Washington Commanders on August 18.

Geno Stone's Injury: Cincinnati Bengals safety Geno Stone is currently week-to-week with a soft tissue injury, likely a shin contusion, sustained during a collision with teammate Vonn Bell in a Week 7 game against the Cleveland Browns. Initially feared to be severe, requiring him to be carted off, positive updates indicate no fracture, with a "week-to-week at worst" prognosis. Head coach Zac Taylor expressed optimism, noting Stone’s absence from Wednesday’s practice but suggesting he could return for the upcoming Philadelphia Eagles game. Stone, a key starter who played all 17 games last season, is expected to resume his role alongside Jordan Battle, with Tycen Anderson and Daijahn Anthony filling in during his recovery. His interception in the Browns game underscores his importance to the Bengals’ secondary.

Jermaine Burton’s Absence: Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton missed Sunday’s practice due to an undisclosed injury, deemed day-to-day by the team. The second-year player addressed speculation via social media, clarifying his absence was injury-related, not due to prior character concerns from his rookie season, where he struggled with playbook mastery and punctuality. Despite a modest rookie year (four catches, 107 yards), Burton’s recent camp performances showed promise, with offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher praising his downfield ability. His absence, though minor, is a setback as he competes for snaps behind Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Andrei Iosivas.
Joe Burrow’s Ranking: In The Athletic’s latest 2025 NFL quarterback rankings, Joe Burrow is firmly a Tier 1 quarterback, lauded for his elite decision-making and resilience despite injury challenges. Leading the Bengals to a 3-4 record, including a recent win over the Browns, Burrow’s 181 yards and two touchdowns in that game highlight his Tier 1 status among NFL passers.

Joe Burrow completely dices up the Eagles' defense for two drives, as the Bengals defense fights for their life in the first preseason game. Reid and Craig react to the Bengals dropping another preseason game... but Joe Burrow looked really cool.
The Cincinnati Bengals face the Philadelphia Eagles in their 2025 NFL preseason Week 1 opener on August 7 at Lincoln Financial Field, kicking off at 7:30 p.m. ET. This matchup pits the Bengals, eager to rebound from a playoff-less 2024, against the defending Super Bowl LIX champions.

Tee Higgins
Amarius Mims
Dylan Fairchild
Cody Ford
Shemar Stewart
DJ Ivey
DJ Turner
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor has emphasized a stronger start this season, with quarterback Joe Burrow, coming off a stellar 2024 (4,918 yards, 43 TDs), expected to play multiple series alongside key starters like Ja’Marr Chase. This shift in preseason strategy aims to sharpen Cincinnati’s high-powered offense early. However, tight end Mike Gesicki will sit out due to a hamstring tweak. The Eagles, fresh off a 14-3 season, are likely to rest most starters, including Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and A.J. Brown (questionable with a hamstring issue), focusing instead on evaluating rookies like linebacker Jihaad Campbell and safety Andrew Mukuba. New offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo’s influence will be under scrutiny as Philadelphia tests its depth, particularly in the secondary and offensive line.
The Eagles’ defense, featuring young stars like Jalen Carter and Quinyon Mitchell, will face a Bengals offense looking to exploit their ground game and passing attack.A subplot to watch is the Brown brothers’ reunion—Bengals halfback Chase Brown versus Eagles safety Sydney Brown, former Illinois teammates clashing for the second time. Cincinnati’s new additions, including linebacker Oren Burks and defensive tackle T.J. Slaton Jr., aim to bolster a defense that struggled against the run last year. Broadcast on the Bengals Preseason TV Network (FOX 19) and NBC10 for Eagles fans, this game offers a glimpse of both teams’ futures. Sportsbooks favor Cincinnati by 3.5 points, reflecting their starters’ expected snaps. Expect a competitive, roster-defining preseason clash.

The Cincinnati Bengals’ 2025 NFL Draft strategy focused on bolstering their defense and offensive line, addressing critical needs while taking calculated risks on high-upside players. With six picks, the Bengals aimed to support their elite offense, led by Joe Burrow, and revamp a defense that struggled in 2024. The draft class, headlined by first-round edge rusher Shemar Stewart, shows promise but carries questions about immediate impact and production. In the first round, selecting Texas A&M’s Shemar Stewart at No. 17 was a bold move. Stewart, a 6-5, 267-pound athletic marvel, boasts elite traits—34 1/8-inch arms, an 84 ¾-inch wingspan, and a 40-inch vertical. However, his college production (1.5 sacks per season) raises concerns about his ability to translate raw talent into NFL success. With Trey Hendrickson’s future uncertain, Stewart’s selection addresses a long-term need at edge rusher, but his boom-or-bust profile is risky for a team needing immediate defensive help. Defensive coordinator Al Golden’s confidence in Stewart’s playmaking away from the line suggests a developmental plan, but patience will be required. The second-round pick, South Carolina linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr. (No. 49), was a strategic grab to solidify the linebacker corps. With Germaine Pratt potentially on the trade block, Knight is poised to compete for a starting role alongside Logan Wilson. His six-year college journey across multiple schools indicates resilience, but his limited time at South Carolina (one season) leaves questions about consistency. Still, Knight’s selection aligns with the Bengals’ need for defensive playmakers under new coordinator Al Golden. In the third round, Georgia guard Dylan Fairchild (No. 81) addressed a glaring need on the offensive line. Fairchild, praised for his power and wrestling background, fits new offensive line coach Scott Peters’ system. While lacking experience, his upside as a potential starter in the Wyatt Teller mold could protect Burrow, whose health is paramount. Later picks, including Clemson linebacker Barrett Carter (fourth round), Miami tackle Jalen Rivers (fifth), and Texas Tech running back Tahj Brooks (sixth), added depth. Carter and Knight bolster linebacker versatility, Rivers provides tackle insurance, and Brooks offers running back depth behind Chase Brown. They targeted key areas—edge, linebacker, and offensive line—but overreached on some picks, particularly Stewart, whose limited production is a gamble. While Fairchild and Knight could start early, the class’s success hinges on Stewart’s development and the coaching staff’s ability to maximize raw talent.
The Cincinnati Bengals approached Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft with three picks—Round 4 (No. 119), Round 5 (No. 153), and Round 6 (No. 193)—aiming to address key roster needs while adding depth and potential starters. Their selections focused on bolstering the defense and offensive line, reflecting a strategy to build a tougher, more physical team around quarterback Joe Burrow.
In the fourth round, the Bengals selected Clemson linebacker Barrett Carter. Carter, praised by defensive coordinator Al Golden for his instincts and versatility, brings a high-energy presence to a linebacker corps needing immediate impact. At 6-1, 230 pounds, Carter recorded 112 tackles and 3.5 sacks in his final college season, showcasing his ability to disrupt both the run and pass games. His selection addresses a critical need after Germaine Pratt’s trade request and complements second-round pick Demetrius Knight Jr., signaling a youth movement at linebacker. Carter’s knack for playmaking and special teams experience should see him contribute early.
The fifth round brought Miami offensive tackle Jalen Rivers, a 6-5, 325-pound lineman with the versatility to play tackle or slide inside to guard. Rivers, noted for his length and play strength, fits the Bengals’ need for offensive line depth after cutting Alex Cappa and benching Cordell Volson. While his athleticism is average, his ability to anchor in pass protection and power in the run game makes him a developmental piece with starter potential in a gap-run scheme. Rivers’ selection underscores Cincinnati’s commitment to protecting Burrow, who has faced injury concerns due to inconsistent line play.
In the sixth round, the Bengals picked Texas Tech running back Tahj Brooks. At 5-10, 220 pounds, Brooks is a physical, downhill runner who amassed 1,541 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns in his final college season. His addition provides depth behind Khalil Herbert and could see him compete for carries in a committee backfield. Brooks’ toughness and ability to break tackles align with head coach Zac Taylor’s emphasis on a rugged offensive identity. These Day 3 picks reflect a calculated approach to address immediate needs while investing in high-upside players. Carter and Rivers, in particular, have paths to early playing time, while Brooks adds a complementary piece to the offense. The Bengals’ focus on physicality and versatility sets the stage for a competitive 2025 season
The Cincinnati Bengals selected Georgia offensive guard Dylan Fairchild with their third-round pick (81st overall) in the 2025 NFL Draft, addressing a critical need on their offensive line. Fairchild, a 6’5”, 315-pound lineman, brings a blend of size, athleticism, and untapped potential to a Bengals team aiming to bolster protection for quarterback Joe Burrow. His selection reflects Cincinnati’s ongoing effort to build a robust, young offensive front, pairing him with 2024 first-round pick Amarius Mims, another Georgia alumnus, to fortify the right side of the line. Fairchild’s background is rooted in Georgia’s run-heavy, physical offensive scheme, where he started for two seasons, primarily at left guard, with some snaps at right guard. His 2024 performance earned him Second-Team All-SEC and AP All-American honors, showcasing his ability to compete in the SEC’s grueling trenches. A standout trait is his wrestling pedigree—a two-time Georgia state heavyweight champion with a 67-0 record—which translates to exceptional hand-fighting skills and leverage on the field. His explosive first step and powerful upper body allow him to displace defenders on double-team blocks and create running lanes, making him a natural fit for the Bengals’ zone-blocking concepts. However, Fairchild is not a polished product. With only 23 collegiate starts and fewer than 1,500 snaps, his technique requires refinement, particularly in pass protection. Scouting reports note inconsistent leverage and footwork, which can lead to balance issues against savvy defensive linemen. He occasionally struggles to anticipate stunts or power rushes, a concern for a Bengals line tasked with protecting Burrow, who faced significant pressure in 2024. Still, Fairchild’s athleticism, including quick feet and lateral agility, offers upside as a pass protector with proper coaching.The Bengals’ selection of Fairchild signals confidence in new offensive line coach Scott Peters, whose “strike system” Fairchild is familiar with from Georgia’s pro day. He’ll compete for a starting guard spot, likely challenging Cordell Volson, and could develop into a long-term anchor. While some analysts viewed the pick as a slight reach, Fairchild’s physical tools and familiarity with Mims provide continuity and potential. If Cincinnati can harness his raw talent, Fairchild could solidify their line, ensuring Burrow has the time to exploit the team’s dynamic receiving corps
Demetrius Knight Jr., a standout linebacker for the South Carolina Gamecocks, has carved an inspiring path to the 2025 NFL Draft through resilience, versatility, and leadership. Born on January 4, 2000, in Locust Grove, Georgia, Knight’s journey began at Strong Rock Christian School, where he starred as a dual-threat quarterback, becoming the program’s first Division I athlete by signing with Georgia Tech. His athletic lineage is notable, with cousin DeAngelo Hall, a former NFL Pro Bowler, and distant cousins, music legends Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin, adding a unique dimension to his story.
Knight’s college career spanned six years across three programs, showcasing his adaptability. At Georgia Tech (2019–2022), he transitioned from quarterback to linebacker, appearing in 36 games and recording 51 tackles, a sack, and a fumble recovery. After redshirting in 2022, he transferred to Charlotte, where he exploded for 96 tackles, earning First-Team All-AAC honors in 2023. His final collegiate stop at South Carolina in 2024 cemented his reputation as a defensive anchor. Named team captain, Knight tallied 82 tackles (57 solo), 8.0 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks, earning the Rex Enright Team Captain award, Most Outstanding Senior, and Joe Morrison MVP Defense honors. A pivotal moment came in the 2024 regular-season finale, where his interception of Clemson’s Cade Klubnik sealed a rivalry win.
Standing at 6’1” and 246 pounds, Knight’s physicality and instincts make him a classic MIKE linebacker. Scouting reports praise his elite straight-line speed (4.58 forty), explosive first step, and ability to penetrate gaps, as seen in dominant performances against Alabama and Oklahoma. His pre-snap communication and blitz timing reflect a high football IQ, developed from his quarterback days. While his run defense is exceptional, with long arms aiding in shedding blocks, his coverage skills, particularly in man-to-man, need refinement due to limited lateral fluidity. Off the field, Knight’s maturity shines. A father of two, he balanced football and family, even working DoorDash at Charlotte to provide for his children. His commitment to finishing strong was evident in his decision to play in the 2024 Citrus Bowl, emphasizing to his kids the importance of perseverance. Projected as a Day 2 NFL Draft pick, Knight’s blend of athleticism, leadership, and character positions him as a potential defensive cornerstone with green-dot potential.
Shemar Stewart, born November 12, 2003, in Miami, Florida, is a standout American football defensive end whose journey from a high school phenom to a 2025 NFL Draft prospect showcases his exceptional talent and resilience. Raised in Miramar, Florida, by his mother, Latoya Smith, Stewart began playing football at age 12 at Ives Estates Park, initially as an offensive and defensive lineman. His hyper-athletic genes were evident early, standing 6 feet tall and over 200 pounds as a freshman at Monsignor Edward Pace High School in Miami Gardens.
By his sophomore year, he had grown to 6’6”, 275 pounds, dominating Florida’s 4A competition with 48 tackles and 15 sacks, earning him a five-star recruit status and the No. 1 edge rusher ranking in the 2022 class by ESPN, 247Sports, and USA Today.
Stewart’s high school career was not without challenges; injuries and COVID-19 complications limited his junior year, but he rebounded as a senior, solidifying his reputation as a top prospect. Committing to Texas A&M University in February 2022, he cited the coaching staff’s familial approach and their honesty as key factors, alongside his parents’ desire for him to avoid Miami’s distracting nightlife.
At Texas A&M, Stewart made an immediate impact, appearing in all 12 games as a true freshman with six starts, earning SEC All-Freshman honors. His sophomore year featured a pick-six against Mississippi State, and by his junior year in 2024, he started all 12 games, leading the Aggies with seven quarterback hurries and 5.5 tackles for loss, securing All-SEC Third Team recognition. At 6’5”, 267 pounds, Stewart’s freakish athleticism shone at the 2025 NFL Combine, where he recorded a 4.59-second 40-yard dash, a 40-inch vertical, and a 10’11” broad jump, earning comparisons to Myles Garrett. His explosive get-off, rare bend, and power make him ideal for a 4-3 defensive system, though his 4.5 career sacks suggest room for growth in pass-rushing technique. Declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft in December 2024, Stewart’s 9.99 Relative Athletic Score ranks third all-time among defensive ends, positioning him as a future NFL star

The Cincinnati Bengals approach the 2025 NFL Draft with the 17th overall pick and six total selections, aiming to address critical roster gaps, particularly on defense, while bolstering offensive support for quarterback Joe Burrow. After a 9-8 season and missing the playoffs, the Bengals, under head coach Zac Taylor and director of player personnel Duke Tobin, face pressure to maximize Burrow’s MVP-caliber years. Key needs include defensive line (interior and edge), linebacker, offensive guard, and secondary depth, with mock drafts and team priorities reflecting a focus on immediate impact players and long-term starters.
Defensive Line (IDL/EDGE): The Bengals’ defense struggled in 2024, prompting the firing of coordinator Lou Anarumo and the hiring of Al Golden. With Trey Hendrickson’s contract situation uncertain and Myles Murphy yet to emerge, edge rushers like Marshall’s Mike Green, noted for his explosive 17-sack season, and Tennessee’s James Pearce Jr., with an 18.7% pressure rate, are prime first-round targets. Interior linemen like Texas A&M’s Walter Nolen, praised for his 91.6 PFF run-defense grade, and Oregon’s Derrick Harmon, a versatile 6’5”, 310-pound disruptor, are also in play to replace free agent B.J. Hill and add pass-rush juice.
Linebacker: With Germaine Pratt’s trade request and Logan Wilson as the lone established starter, the Bengals seek a linebacker to compete with free agent Oren Burks. Alabama’s Jihaad Campbell, a do-everything defender with 112 tackles and 5 sacks in 2024, is a popular mock draft pick at No. 17, offering speed and versatility. Later rounds could target Clemson’s Barrett Carter for depth.
Offensive Guard: The interior offensive line faltered last season, with Alex Cappa cut and Cordell Volson benched. Alabama’s Tyler Booker, a 6’5”, 325-pound mauler with high football IQ, is a first-round option to solidify the line and protect Burrow. Georgia’s Tate Ratledge is a second-round possibility for immediate starting potential.
Secondary and Other Needs: Georgia safety Malaki Starks and Michigan cornerback Will Johnson are linked to Cincinnati to bolster the backfield, addressing a need for playmakers opposite Cam Taylor-Britt. While wide receiver and running back are less pressing due to Chase Brown, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, Ohio State’s Luther Burden III, Michigan's Colston Loveland or Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty could be considered for offensive balance.
The Bengals’ draft strategy hinges on landing defensive difference-makers and offensive line stability to return to playoff contention.
Craig and Elliot provide INSTANT reaction to the news from late Sunday night that Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both signed contract extensions. The guys breakdown the contract details, the report that Chase would not sign without Higgins, debate who deserves credit for the extensions, the contracts vs the current NFL market, where the Bengals stand in the NFL and much more!

The Cincinnati Bengals have reportedly hired Al Golden as their new defensive coordinator, a move that could signal a significant shift in their defensive strategy and philosophy.
Golden, who has been the defensive coordinator at Notre Dame since 2022, has built a reputation for creating robust, disciplined defenses, which is exactly what the Bengals need after a lackluster defensive performance in the 2024 season. Golden's tenure at Notre Dame has been marked by a defense that finished second in points allowed per game this past season, showcasing his ability to lead and organize a unit that can adapt and compete at a high level. Under Golden, the Notre Dame defense was known for its physicality, aggression, and opportunistic play, traits that could be vital in revitalizing the Bengals' defense, which struggled significantly in key areas like pass defense and third-down efficiency last season.
The familiarity between Golden and the Bengals' head coach Zac Taylor cannot be understated. Golden served as the Bengals' linebackers coach from 2020 to 2021, where he was instrumental in the development of players like Logan Wilson and Germaine Pratt. This previous association means that Golden already understands the culture and expectations within the Bengals' organization, which could facilitate a smoother transition into his new role. His experience in the NFL, albeit as an assistant, gives him insight into the professional game that might not be as readily available to someone coming directly from a college background.
There's is the question of whether his defensive schemes, which have been successful in college, will hold up against NFL offensive strategies that are often more complex and varied. Despite these concerns, Golden's hiring aligns with the Bengals' strategy of promoting or hiring coaches who have previous connections to the team or the coaching staff. This approach often aims for continuity and cultural fit, which can be crucial for maintaining team morale and unity, especially after a coaching change. With the team's ambitions set high, having a defense that can hold its own against the offensive juggernauts of the AFC is paramount. Golden's task will be to not only improve the performance on the field but also to rebuild trust and confidence within the defense unit after a season of underperformance.

Jacob Tissot is joined by Reid Maus for the regular season finale of Chatterbox Bengals, recapping the Bengals 19-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road.
The Bengals ended their season 9-8, good enough for the 17th overall pick in the draft. Joe Burrow was the league-leader in passing yards and touchdowns, and finished third in QBR. Ja'Marr Chase secured the Triple Crown, leading the league in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. Trey Hendrickson's 3.5 sack performance in Pittsburgh locked up the sack lead for the first time in his career.

Jacob Tissot and Craig Sandlin breakdown the Bengals' somewhat surprise firings of DC Lou Anarumo, DL coach Marion Hobby, LB coach James Bettcher, and OL coach Frank Pollack less than 24 hours after being eliminated from playoff contention.
The most disappointing seasons in this organization's history falls on the shoulders of one of the worst defenses we've ever seen, and Anarumo was ultimately fired because of it. With one of the best offenses in football, this is immediately one of - if not the - most desirable positions in the league. Potential replacements include former head coaches Brandon Staley, Robert Saleh, Dennis Allen and Matt Eberflus, as well as former Bengals LB coach and current Notre Dame defensive coordinator, Al Golden.
