Could Cincinnati bring in another RB to pair with Chase Brown?
Chase Brown officially cemented himself as RB1 for the Cincinnati Bengals this past season and will continue in that role next season.
With Brown taking over that dominant role in the backfield, the Bengals are likely to part ways with Zack Moss especially with how much work the front office has at other positions.
Now, the question is whether Cincinnati will draft an RB2 or bring in a different veteran to fill that role in 2025.
CBS Sports’ Garrett Podell believes the Bengals will look to sign a veteran free agent running back this offseason to pair with Brown.
Podell suggests that former Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt is best fit to sign with the Bengals this offseason.
“A successful run is analytically defined by gaining at least 40% of the yards required on first down (4 yards on a first-and-10 for example), 60% of the yards required on second down and moving the chains for a first down on either a third- or fourth-down carry. The metric of rushing success rate is the amount of those successful runs divided by the overall number of rushing attempts a player has. Among 23 players who had at least 200 carries this pasts season, Hunt’s 55.5% rushing success rate on his exactly 200 carries for 728 yards and seven touchdowns is the third-best in the entire league,” Podell wrote.
Whether you agree with this decision or not, the Bengals must bring in someone who can help keep Brown fresh and healthy in 2025.
Hunt could be an interesting addition, considering his resume in the AFC North and with the Chiefs.
