Difficult, but not impossible.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler recently reported that the Cincinnati Bengals were going to make an attempt to sign Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Trey Hendrickson to contract extensions. The report came after franchise quarterback Joe Burrow spent Super Bowl week publicly calling for the front office to do so.

Thursday, Fowler appeared on SportsCenter and showed a bit of skepticism regarding the team pulling it off.

“I’m hearing that they are going to try [to sign all three],” Fowler said. “It’s uncertain whether they can pull it off, and a lot of people around the league are...

This looks like a home-run move.

With the Cincinnati Bengals set to release or trade Germaine Pratt, linebacker should be a major need entering NFL free agency.

It just so happens that Kansas City Chiefs standout Nick Bolton is set to hit the market for the first time in his career. That’s who USA Today writer Jacob Camenker has the Bengals landing in one of his NFL free agency predictions.

“Here’s another move where an AFC contender gets better at the expense of the Chiefs. Bolton has been a productive, three-down linebacker for Kansas City, eclipsing 100 tackles in three...

The offensive coordinator and personnel executive are rising stars.

After Brian Callahan left to become the head coach of the Tennessee Titans, the offense of the Cincinnati Bengals didn’t take a step back. Rather, it took a few steps forward.

In Dan Pitcher’s first year as offensive coordinator, the Bengals set a new franchise high for points (472), ranked fifth in the NFL with 57 total touchdowns, and finished in the top 10 for yards.

Perhaps even more notably, Joe Burrow had a career year and Ja’Marr Chase won the triple crown. You can relive some of the best moments...

What do you think, Bengals fans?

Now that the 2024 season is officially over, all eyes are on 2025. Free agency will begin soon, and after that, the Cincinnati Bengals—along with every other team—will shift their focus to the draft. It won’t be long before a very different 2025 team emerges from the ashes of 2024.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler recently categorized all 32 NFL teams into 11 tiers, ranging from “Still Major Contenders” to “Yep, Still Rebuilding.” He ranked them from No. 1 to No. 32 based on their likelihood of winning the Super Bowl in February 2026. Fowler placed...

Help may be on the horizon.

The Cincinnati Bengals entered the 2024 season with high aspirations. Anything short of the Super Bowl would be a disappointment.

Well, here we are, disappointed. To say the least.

And the biggest reason for that disappointment was an underachieving defense that couldn’t stop anyone when it mattered most. The Bengals finished ranked 21st in pass defense, 19th in rush defense, and 23rd in third-down defense. They were 25th in scoring defense and 30th in red-zone defense.

While Cincinnati struggled on the back end, its biggest area of need comes along the defensive line. The...

Let the speculation begin for what the Bengals will do in the draft.

That is, if the Bengals don’t get an extension done soon.

The Cincinnati Bengals used their franchise tag on wide receiver Tee Higgins before the 2024 season in hopes that he, along with Ja’Marr Chase and Joe Burrow, could bring a Super Bowl trophy home to the Queen City.

Things obviously didn’t work out, but the Bengals haven’t given up on keeping Higgins, announcing they intended to use their franchise tag on him again in 2025.

It feels different this season, though. The Bengals seem intent on keeping Higgins in Cincinnati long-term, and it appears as if placing the tag...

A recent report on an important player has folks feeling like the Bengals are serious about keeping their group of stars together, long-term. We talk about the Tee Higgins news and the salary cap. Another draft prospect is on tap, too!

NFL free agency is a few short weeks away and the hype around the Bengals is all over the map. Recent reports have the looking at keeping one of their stars early on in the process, as the team tries to keep its major core players in Cincinnati long-term.

We talk about this, as well as the recent reports...

Chase is about to make bank, and the Bengals have plenty of cap space to make it happen.

The Cincinnati Bengals will have more money to play with as it looks to re-sign Tee Higgins and also extend Ja’Marr Chase this offseason.

Multiple reports indicate that the NFL informed teams Wednesday that the 2025 per-team salary cap would be between $277.5 million and $281.5 million, an increase of over $20 million from last year’s $255.4 million cap.

Overall, the salary cap has increased by over $50 million in the last two years.

With the increase, the Bengals are now estimated...

Give Trey $ and some help.

Good defensive ends can solve a lot of problems, particularly in the passing game. With youth and uncertainty in the secondary, a quality pass rush would have gone a long way for the Cincinnati Bengals, but this key unit as a whole came up short in 2024.

Key Players

• Trey Hendrickson
• Joseph Ossai
• Myles Murphy
• Sam Hubbard
