Do three assistant general managers equate to one actual general manager?

The Cincinnati Bengals announced they are promoting three members of their front office to the position of assistant general manager.

Steven Radicevic and Mike Potts were formerly directors of scouting. Trey Brown, the team's senior personnel executive, has been one of the most sought-after names when general manager vacancies need to be filled around the league.

"Steve, Mike, and Trey work in all areas of the club and assist me in every aspect," Duke Tobin said via Bengals.com. "They're highly capable. They're impactful in all areas of personnel. We...

Quite the payday.

As all Cincinnati Bengals fans sit and wait to see what happens with star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, the Pittsburgh Steelers just gave T.J. Watt a massive $123 million contract extension on Thursday.

Watt and Hendrickson are both 30 years old, and despite not getting the national attention, Hendrickson has more sacks (35) than Watt (30.5) over the last two seasons. It is safe to say that Hendrickson’s camp kept a close eye on Watt’s negotiations.

What will the Bengals give Hendrickson? Michael Ginnitti of Spotrac.com projected a three-year, $115.5 million deal with $100 million guaranteed.

Based...

No wonder the rookie feels he can’t take the deal.

Shemar Stewart is unhappy with the Cincinnati Bengals’ front office.

And he might very well be justified in feeling that way.

Previously, it was reported that Stewart didn’t like that his contract included a new clause that would void all future guarantees if he defaults in a season.

That is because, previous Bengals rookies, like Amarius Mims, had language that only voided one season at a time.

Of course, the counter argument was, most teams do it the “new” way.

Okay, fine.

But then there’s another issue that NFL insider...

Burrow loves playing football, but he doesn’t like how it puts him in the public eye. His business is out there for all of us to see. Unlike my job and your job, millions of people are watching every time he makes a mistake.

Noted.

As the Cincinnati Bengals gear up for training camp, this is prime time for the preseason rankings to start flying around. Quarterback rankings, power rankings and overrated/underrated lists usually pop up in mid-July.

This year is no different, as Mike Jones of The Athletic released his list of overrated and underrated teams, and he has the Bengals listed as overrated.

“Cincinnati boasts a great offensive trio in Joe Burrow and his recently handsomely compensated receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. But winning meaningful games in this league requires a strong defense, and that’s where the questions begin for Cincinnati,”...

Time is ticking... perhaps rapidly.

The Cincinnati Bengals are now on the clock.

No, it’s not NFL Draft season. What it is, though, is time for the Bengals to get moving and put their money where their mouths are.

Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt got paid and paid massively on Thursday afternoon, signing a three-year, $123 million contract extension to become the highest-paid non-quarterback on a per-year basis.

Bengals All-Pro edge rusher Trey Hendrickson is seeking a contract extension himself, and he has made it abundantly clear that he will not play on the $16 million deal he is...

The Bengals can breathe a sigh of relief.

Bengals first-round draft pick Shemar Stewart will not be returning to the Texas A&M football team.

On Tuesday, a report emerged that Stewart was back in Texas, working out with the Aggies, and that he may attempt to rejoin the team for the upcoming college football season.

Kelsey Conway later shot that down, and now, we have confirmation from the team itself that Stewart is not returning to the Aggies.

“There’s no intentions of Shemar to play for the Aggies this year,” head coach Mike Elko told ESPN’s Shae Cornette ([via Ben...

Executives, coaches, and scouts had high praise for the Bengals star.

Ja’Marr Chase had a career year last year.

As a result, NFL executives, coaches, and scouts have decided he is the best receiver in the entire league.

In a recent survey by ESPN, league insiders were asked to rank the top 10 players at 11 positions. Chase came in first while his teammate Tee Higgins was an honorable mention.

In the article, Jeremy Fowler wrote that Chase received around 70% of the first place votes after securing just the fifth triple crown of the Super Bowl era.

Fowler quoted...

Congratulations to them both!

On Wednesday morning, the Cincinnati Bengals announced the next two players who will be enshrined on their Ring of Honor will be former cornerback and return specialist Lemar Parrish and former offensive lineman and radio commentator Dave Lapham.

Parrish was a seventh-round pick in 1970 and made an immediate impact for the new franchise. He played for the Bengals for eight seasons before being traded to the Washington Commanders before the 1978 season. He stayed there through 1981 and played the 1982 season for the Bills before retiring.

He finished his career as a three-time First-Team...
