The Bengals certainly could have done more.

2025 NFL offseason grades: Draft, trades, more moves by team
Let's address the receivers first. Coming off a season in which he led the league with 1,708 receiving yards on 127 receptions, Chase was certainly going to get the raise he deserved. But he really got paid. Sometimes when players receive record-breaking contracts it's a product of natural progression, moving in line with the cap's rise. This was not that. Chase's $40.25 million APY extension is the highest in OverTheCap.com's historical wide receiver contract list even if we adjust for salary cap inflation....

What Brooks brings to the Bengals backfield.

It was a bit of a shock in 2023 when the Cincinnati Bengals selected Chase Brown in the fifth round of the NFL Draft.

Brown’s talent was obvious, but the Bengals had always shown a preference for “low mileage” backs who had not taken a high volume of carries in college. Brown had 678 carries over five seasons, including a senior minister campaign where he carried the ball 328 times and caught 27 passes.

While Tahj Brooks never had over 300 carries in a season, he surpassed 280 twice, totaling 879 carries in...

Yet another glimpse into the QB’s personality courtesy of Netflix’s “Quarterback”.

From the backless jacket in Paris to the blue suit for his Met Gala appearance, Joe Burrow has made headlines on account of his love for fashion.

Now we know where he gets it from.

In Netflix’s “Quarterback”, we learned the origins of the Cincinnati Bengals QB’s bold taste.

“My mom was in fashion merchandising when I was little,” he said. “So she’s always played a role in that, buying school clothes. And she would always get me colorful shirts that I would like to wear.”

Burrow’s mother, Robin,...

The unit is young and needs a veteran presence in the secondary.

The Cincinnati Bengals have a brand-new defensive coordinator taking over the reins this season in Al Golden.

The defense was horrid last season and lost the team multiple games and, in turn, was a large reason why the Bengals missed the playoffs.

But the unit is looking to flip the script this season with a young unit, and the return of Dax Hill is only going to help.

One NFL expert believes Hill’s return will be a massive step in the right direction for the unit, especially for...

Ossai is hoping to have Hendrickson as his running mate on the edges of the defensive line this season.

With the positive news that the Cincinnati Bengals and All-Pro edge rusher Trey Hendrickson have resumed contract talks, it’s a good time to showcase some strong praise from one of Hendrickson’s teammates.

Bengals fifth-year edge rusher Joseph Ossai, who signed a contract extension himself this offseason, recently explained why he is really hoping to have Hendrickson as his running mate on the edges of the defensive line once again this season.

“When Trey lines up in front of you with his...

The Netflix doc is giving us all an inside look at Joe Burrow’s life.

Joe Burrow has been incredibly private since being drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals back in 2020.

After the Super Bowl run, Burrow became even more private as the fame light shined on him more than ever.

This offseason, Burrow stated he plans to begin opening up a bit more for his fans, and he has done just that as the star of Netflix’s documentary ‘Quarterback.’

For those who don’t know about the show, the series takes you behind the scenes of every aspect of Burrow’s life...

Evans has been around and done enough that his word matters.

Wide receiver is a position the Cincinnati Bengals know well. From Isaac Curtis, Cris Collinsworth and Carl Pickens to Chad Johnson, AJ Green, and the team’s current duo, the Bengals have drafted, developed, and retained some of the most talented wide receivers in NFL history.

One of the league’s current most talented wide receivers heading into the 2025 season is Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans. The 31-year-old is entering year 12 and has NEVER had a season in which he didn’t finish with at least 1,000 yards receiving. He’s been...

Greetings, Bengals fans!

For the latest Bengals Reacts survey, we want you to let us know who will have the best regular-season record in the AFC this season.

Will the Baltimore Ravens earn the best mark after doing so just two seasons ago?

Could a team like the Bengals or Buffalo Bills break through and take home the top seed?

Maybe someone like the Los Angeles Chargers, Denver Broncos, or Houston Texans makes a surprise...

You could easily make the argument he could have won it last year despite missing the playoffs.

The race for MVP in the NFL is always a tight one.

Over the past two seasons, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen have taken home the honors, leaving the other as the runner-up.

However, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer is picking Joe Burrow to break through their competition for the award.

"The wild thing is that he could have won it last year," Breer wrote. "in a season when the Bengals didn’t even make the playoffs. He threw...
