Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt entered a guilty plea to charges of reckless driving and driving without a license on Tuesday, as detailed by Cameron Knight and Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The plea led to Taylor-Britt being immediately sentenced in Hamilton County Municipal Court. He is set to spend five days in jail as a result. Separate charges of drag racing and failing to obey roadway signs were dropped by prosecutors as part of the plea agreement.
Taylor-Britt was issued tickets on two separate occasions in 2025. The first was in June when police stated he drove recklessly on Fourth Street in downtown Cincinnati. Five occupants were inside the Dodge Charger Taylor-Britt was driving at the time.
The second incident stemmed from an incident involving Tayl0r-Britt driving a Jeep Cherokee on Joe Nuxhall Way. Tickets were issued in September for driving with a restricted license in addition to the charges which ultimately would up being dropped. The 26-year-old was admitted to the Hamilton County Justice Center late Tuesday morning. No comment has been made as of yet by his representation or the Bengals.
A second-round pick of Cincinnati in 2022, Taylor-Britt has made 47 appearances and 40 starts over the course of his career. The Nebraska product is set to see his rookie contract expire this spring in advance of his first trip to free agency. Taylor-Britt totaled seven interceptions and 27 pass deflections between the 2023 and ’24 seasons, but this year did not go according to plan. A Lisfranc injury resulted in season-ending surgery, limiting him to just eight games.
The injury and today’s legal developments will no doubt hinder Taylor-Britt’s market value. As the Enquirer piece notes, he is not expected to re-sign with the Bengals this offseason.
