The Bengals desperately need pass-rusher help.

The NFL Draft is quickly approaching, and the Cincinnati Bengals are looking to add some young talent that helps them return to the playoffs.

At the moment, it seems that the Bengals front office will be focused on adding some depth on the defensive side of the ball, but now they have been tied to a star pass rusher.

Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer worked out at the Buckeyes Pro Day and mentioned that he will be meeting with the Bengals. The team's director of player personnel, Duke Tobin, was in attendance for...

Bengals 3-round mock draft: Defense is the main focus

Bengals 3-round mock draft: Defense is the main focus

Cincinnati is able to fill holes with the best available players.

Two down and one to go.

With Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in the books, that just leaves Trey Hendrickson. It’s obviously not going to be an easy negotiation, but for the purposes of this latest mock draft, we will assume that the Bengals’ front office will find a way to get it done.

That being said, the three biggest needs for the Cincinnati Bengals are defensive end, defensive tackle, and offensive guard. And the nice thing is that they should be able to fill all three needs with...

The Cincinnati Bengals are officially in 2025 NFL Draft mode with Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase locked up for the foreseeable future.

All eyes will now turn on how the team can shore up their defense this offseason, and the draft is going to ideally be a huge help for the Bengals. While figuring out a contract with Trey Hendrickson may be the priority, adding elite talent in the draft is what will keep this team competing for the long-term future.

That said, the Bengals have a top-30 visit scheduled with Nick Martin, [The...

Jordan Schultz explains the night Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins got their deals done

What a story.

Shortly after Fox NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reported the news about the Cincinnati Bengals signing star wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to massive contract extensions, we learned that Schultz was actually out to dinner with the duo when he reported the news.

Chase and Higgins tweeted out handshake emojis just before Schultz reported the deals and terms, and it turns out they were all three in the same room together.

Schultz recently released a video on Twitter explaining how the night went, and it is a great story.

One of the most intriguing parts of...

2025 NFL Free Agent Profile: Brandon Scherff

2025 NFL Free Agent Profile: Brandon Scherff

The Bengals are in need of multiple guards this offseason. While they will undoubtedly look at the draft, one veteran free agent makes sense for the short-term.

Before the onset of true, open 2025 NFL free agency, the Cincinnati Bengals made the tough but predictable decision to release veteran right guard Alex Cappa. The team wanted to create some extra financial wiggle room for the eventual mega-extensions to Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, but the Bengals also felt that a possible option for improvement would be available on the open market.

While the talent available at guard was apparent, questions...

8 guard options for the Bengals on Day 2 of the NFL Draft

The Bengals need to find a starter. Here’s some good options who should go after Round 1.

The Cincinnati Bengals are looking pretty solid at three out of five offensive line positions, but they need to upgrade both guard spots.

Bama’s Tyler Booker, Ohio State’s Donovan Jackson, and North Dakota State’s Grey Zabel are all being projected as first-round picks.

So, who could the Bengals get on Day 2 or beyond?

Here are eight players to watch out for.

Second Bengals.com Media Mock Draft Of 2025 Races To Find An AFC North Fit
If two quarterbacks, two tight ends, two wide receivers and three tackles are gone before they pick, that's a lot of defensive line talent looming, and it could be just begging for a trade back to get more than those six picks they've already got. Because it certainly looks like they could drop four or five spots, maybe more, and still get a starter up front.

Will Mike Hilton return to the Bengals for the 2025 season?

Will Mike Hilton return to the Bengals for the 2025 season?

Hilton has been a mainstay in the Bengals secondary the last four seasons.

Signing Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to contract extensions is great, and, in my opinion, it makes the offseason a success based on that alone.

However, I’m not naive to think there isn’t more work for the Cincinnati Bengals to do to improve the roster going into 2025. There definitely are more ways for the Bengals to make this offseason even more of a success.

One of those moves could be re-signing Mike Hilton. It could be that simple.

The perception has been that Hilton will likely...

A Trey Hendrickson trade is reportedly off the table

A Trey Hendrickson trade is reportedly off the table

Sounds like the All-Pro isn’t going anywhere until 2026 at the earliest.

It would appear Trey Hendrickson will either be playing for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2025 or no one at all.

According to Fox Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz, a trade is now considered “off the table” for the Bengals as they look to hammer out a new contract for their All-Pro defender.

Hendrickson is entering the final year of his contract and has been adamant about getting a new deal done in Cincinnati. However, the team’s focus this offseason was getting Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins re-signed.

Former Bengals standout Chidobe Awuzie joining Ravens

Former Bengals standout Chidobe Awuzie joining Ravens

Awuzie is back in the AFC North.

The Cincinnati Bengals won’t be bringing Chidobe Awuzie back to help their struggling secondary.

Instead, Awuzie has agreed to a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens, according to Ian Rapoport.

It’s reportedly a minimal deal, as the Tennessee Titans still owe him $7.5 million this year after cutting him earlier this offseason.

Awuzie played in Cincinnati from 2021-23 and was a Pro Bowl-level cornerback during the team’s Super Bowl LVI run. However, he’s never regained that former since tearing his ACL midway through the 2022 campaign.

After struggling to find his footing in...
