The All Pro receiver likes where his former team is headed.

Chad Johnson and Shannon Sharpe talked Cincinnati Bengals vs. Kansas City Chiefs on their podcast, and they agreed that the Bengals can hang with the champs if they have a healthy Joe Burrow.

Here’s the exchange between Johnson, an iconic figure in Cincinnati and Ring of Honor inductee, and the Hall of Fame tight end:

Johnson: From a team perspective, offensively, we are built to beat [the Chiefs]. Why? Because we have a special quarterback ourselves in Cincinnati, one that can match up toe to toe with Patrick Mahomes....

The folks in Vegas usually have their ducks in a row.

The Cincinnati Bengals don’t have an easy schedule in 2024.

Not only do they play in the AFC North, the toughest division in the NFL, but they also face the Cowboys, Chiefs, Chargers, and Eagles.

However, according to Warren Sharp, when you use Las Vegas’ forecasted win totals for each team, the Bengals have the sixth-easiest schedule in the NFL.

Sharp ranked each team’s strength of schedule based on current Vegas betting odds and implied win totals for every NFL team, and when doing so, only the Falcons, Chargers,...

Newton is the kind of disruptor the Bengals defense needs more of.

The 2024 NFL Draft is almost here, and it’s no secret that the Cincinnati Bengals are in the market for a defensive tackle.

One of the best in this year’s class is Illinois’ Jer’Zahn ‘Johnny’ Newton. He’s been mocked to the Bengals at pick No. 18 in several projections, though one recent mock had him falling all the way to pick 49 in Round 2.

Regardless, he’s someone the Bengals have an interest in, as they recently hosted him for a pre-draft visit, according to Joe Goodberry.

The...

The Bengals could be lucky to add Byron Murphy at No. 18 according to one draft expert.

The Cincinnati Bengals are looking down the barrel of the 2024 NFL Draft, and one position of need, especially after losing DJ Reader in free agency, is defensive tackle.

With the depth at the offensive tackle position in this year’s draft class, it’s very possible the team could get a starting-caliber tackle on Day 2 and focus on another position of need.

Two names come to mind with the Bengals and defensive tackle when it comes to the draft, and those are Byron...

Tobin previously worked with the Bengals and is the father of Duke Tobin.

The Bengals have announced that former player personnel executive Bill Tobin has passed away at the age of 83.

Tobin joined the Bengals as a scouting consultant in 2003 and worked in the team’s player personnel department through 2022. He came to Cincinnati after having served as general manager of the Chicago Bears from 1987-92, general manager of the Indianapolis Colts from 1994-96, and the director of player personnel of the Detroit Lions from 2001-02.

“He was a true NFL success story,” said Bengals president Mike Brown...

Let’s talk about the Bengals offensive line and the draft with Parker Blake!

This week on Three and Out, Kevin and I had Parker Blake, Twitter’s Cincinnati Bengals offensive line aficionado, to discuss the Bengals offensive line and a path forward through 2024 and beyond.

First, we discussed the team’s free agency acquisition of Trent Brown, the ups and downs, and what he brings to the team. We also discussed what the plan should be to back up Brown in the event he or Orlando Brown Jr. goes down with some sort of injury. This is where Parker comes in!...

Hall would add instant depth to the defensive line

Everyone knows the Cincinnati Bengals lost DJ Reader in free agency. But even with Reader, one of the best run-stopping defensive interior linemen in the NFL, the team was going to need more depth at the position after getting gashed on the ground throughout the 2023 season.

Despite adding Sheldon Rankins to the mix, they still need to target the defensive line heavily in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Well, they could be in luck as ESPN’s Jordan Reid has pegged Ohio State’s Michael Hall as a potential Day 2 option.

With...

This week, we bring back the wheel to talk defensive tackles in this year’s class. We also examine the nuggets from a recent media call we had with NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah to hear his takes and some insight on what clubs are thinking with the Draft being a week away.

The 2024 NFL Draft is a week away and the Cincinnati Bengals are scrambling to get all of their due diligence done before heading to Detroit. They’ve been visiting with a number of prospects and are getting set to bolster their roster.

This week, we break out the big...

What a wild way to lose a Super Bowl ring.

The Cincinnati Bengals have a rivalry with the Kansas City Chiefs, but tight end Travis Kelce is a former University of Cincinnati Bearcat, so you may find split opinions on him depending on who you ask.

One thing that isn’t up for debate is that Kelce’s podcast, New Heights, which he does with his brother, Jason Kelce, is a wild success. Fans love to see the other side of two players at the top of their game, and last week, they brought that show to Cincinnati.

They pulled out all...

The no-nonsense veteran’s words are more than encouraging.

Vonn Bell has a very low tolerance for nonsense.

He will literally deflate you if your shenanigans get out of hand. Just ask JuJu Smith-Schuster.

So when Bell has praise for the Cincinnati Bengals’ group of young safeties, that isn’t just your typical offseason hype. Rather, it’s a very encouraging sign.

Bell spoke to reporters recently about his return to the franchise. He talked about his role as a veteran leader and indicated that he’s (obviously) ready to put in the work necessary to help the team.

Bell was then asked about...

A lot of great options for the Bengals with the 18th pick.

The 2024 NFL Draft is right around the corner, and it has Cincinnati Bengals’ fans wondering who they will take with their first-round pick.

ESPN recently released their Draft Pick Predictor, and the data has predicted that the Bengals will get high-quality talent with the 18th pick.

The most likely selection for the Bengals is Washington offensive tackle Troy Fautanu, who has a 13% chance. The Bengals can always use offensive line depth, and getting Fautanu at 18 would be a great pick.

Next in line is Texas...

Could the Bengals go wide receiver in the first couple of round?

The Cincinnati Bengals didn’t quite reach their ceiling last season, missing the playoffs after Joe Burrow went down with a season-ending wrist ligament tear.

The most discouraging part was the feeling that the Bengals were just starting to round the corner and had a few pivotal, season-changing wins, especially on the road against the Super Bowl-making 49ers.

That said, the Bengals slumped late and will have the 18th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. With 30 top-30 visits at their disposal, the Bengals will be bringing in...
