When I was at the first Bengals training camp practice, I shook Dylan Fairchild’s hand when he came over to engage with fans. Let me tell you, the Bengals’ offensive line could be in much better hands with him protecting Joe Burrow.
Fairchild is under contract for the next four seasons with the Bengals, which will be the first four seasons of his career. His contract is worth up to $6,421,180, including $1,309,948 signing...

It is finally time for the Bengals first preseason game as they take on the Eagles. Check out the latest news and discus tonight’s game.
Well the wait is finally, kind of over. The Cincinnati Bengals will be taking the field tonight, and will get a glimpse of players like Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase. They will be playing against the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles in a Thursday night exhibition game. We will see the starters, but we just don’t know how much quite yet.

The Bengals’ starting right guard position can make or break the entire season. Right now, it’s a battle between Cody Ford and free-agent signing Lucas Patrick.
ESPN NFL Nation Bengals beat reporter Ben Baby recently weighed in on the battle, saying this:
Early in camp, the battle was billed between Cody Ford and Lucas Patrick, who signed with the Bengals on a one-year deal this offseason. But so far, Ford safely has the inside track.
Ford is firmly in the RG1 spot, something that has been strengthened only with Patrick dealing with an injury that kept him...

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow said earlier in Training Camp that this is the best he’s throwing the ball in his career. When he says something like that, you believe it.
So, can Burrow possibly get better in one or more areas? Bengals head coach Zac Taylor weighed in with FanDuel’s Kay Adams, who hosts the Up & Adams Show on FanDuel and was at Bengals Training Camp Tuesday
“Joe got better, and I don’t even know how that’s possible,” Taylor said. “He’s as good as I’ve seen him. The anticipation, I think, is even at a higher level. It’s...

Thursday night will be the first time we see how different the Cincinnati Bengals’ approach in the preseason will be. Zac Taylor has said the starters will play more, and that will be the case when the Bengals open the preseason in Philadelphia.
While Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins will play, Mike Gesicki and Noah Fant will not play Thursday night, as well as Cam Taylor-Britt, Dax Hill, BJ Hill, Marco Wilson, Matt Lee, and Cedric Johnson.
Thankfully, Taylor did say that Gesicki and Lee would be questionable if it were a game week, signaling that their injuries...

The Cincinnati Bengals are preparing to play their first preseason game of the 2025 season, and Zac Taylor has already let slip that starters will be playing more than they ever have in his tenure as head coach. One starter that won’t be out there, though, is the league’s defending sack leader, Trey Hendrickson. He is still holding in as he and his representatives negotiate a contract extension.
The Bengals finished the 2024 season with the eighth-fewest team sacks, and the guy who had about half of them, and led the league, is refusing to practice until he’s paid what...

When the Cincinnati Bengals brought Ted Karras to the Queen City in free agency in March of 2022, it was to stop the revolving door at the center position. The offensive lineman directly in front of the most important player on the field had been Billy Price, Trey Hopkins or Trey Hill, each of whom performed various degrees of bad, and having an experienced, two-time Super Bowl champion to lead the line could do nothing but good things.
That’s been the case. Not only has Karras solidified the position, but he’s become a fan favorite and locker-room leader.
Unfortunately the...

The Cincinnati Bengals have viewed Dylan Fairchild as a starter since the day they drafted the guard out of Georgia in the third round.
Going into the 2025 season, the Cincinnati Bengals already have one of the most loaded offenses in the NFL, so adding another weapon seems almost unfair at this point, but the team might just have an emerging weapon in Tahj Brooks, a player they found near the bottom of the 2025 NFL Draft.
If the...

The Bengals have the talent to easily make a return to the playoffs this season.
The 2024 Cincinnati Bengals may be one of the most talented teams in NFL history to miss the NFL Playoffs.
Despite having the NFL’s leading passer in yards and touchdowns and the NFL’s receiving Triple Crown leader, not to mention the NFL’s sacks leader, the incredible seasons of Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Trey Hendrickson weren’t enough to get the Bengals into the Playoffs.
After two 9-8 seasons, the goal for the Bengals is clear in 2025: Make the playoffs, at the very least.
[Pro...

Last year wasn’t great, but it started on an upward trend. Is that enough?
It seemed like the Cincinnati Bengals made the right move when they brought in Geno Stone as a free agent safety. Not only was he coming off a seven-interception season, but Lou Anarumo and Zac Taylor stole him away from the Baltimore Ravens.
Now Anarumo is gone and there are new faces all over the defense.
Everywhere except for the secondary, that is.
So Stone is back, much to the chagrin of some fans.
