This is Major Tom to Ground Control, I’ve got my helmet on.
If there’s one challenge the NFL has in 2024 and beyond, it’s player safety.
As players continue to become bigger and faster, helmet-to-helmet hits will continue to be brutal and could dissuade future generations from ever stepping onto the field.
The NFL decided that it will now allow players to wear Guardian Caps, the cushioned sleeve stretched over the helmets we see during training camp, during the regular season in an attempt to minimize traumatic brain injuries.
The Guardian Caps have been mandatory for linemen in training camps...

The numbers are out.
The Cincinnati Bengals will be bringing in at least 10 new faces, many of whom have a good chance at cracking the 53-man roster.
With their first-round pick, the team added Georgia tackle Amarius Mims.
Cincinnati then enhanced its depth on the defensive line, offensive line, wide receiver, and cornerback throughout the rest of the draft. The Bengals should be an improved team and prepare themselves well for the future.
That said, with the draft having been almost a week away now, the team has released the rookie numbers, and here they are.

Big-Play Burton.
We knew that change was coming to the Cincinnati Bengals' offense, and the meteoric change came in Round 3 when the Bengals selected Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver Jermaine Burton.
Burton is a major playmaker who should see the field immediately as the slot receiver and could eventually become Tee Higgins’ replacement on the outside.
This clip demonstrates the speed that Burton brings to the Bengals receiving corps. When the ball is in the air, he finds another gear and separates from the defender.

Could Tyler Boyd reunite with Brian Callahan?
Now that the NFL Draft has concluded, Tyler Boyd will likely sign with an NFL team in the near future.
Sadly, it likely won’t be the Cincinnati Bengals, especially after the team spent a third-round pick on Alabama wideout Jermaine Burton.
It does appear we could see Boyd reunited with Brian Callahan, as the veteran has reportedly set up visits with the Tennessee Titans, as well as the Los Angeles Chargers.
This, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
In 120 career games over eight seasons with the Bengals, Boyd has caught 513 passes for...

The changes should be completed before the end of the summer.
This week marks the unveiling of some of Paycor Stadium’s recent updates.
As Bengals.com’s Geoff Hobson writes, Hamilton County Commissioners invested $39 million to help keep the stadium looking fresh and modern.
Here’s what that means:
The Bengals organization looked at a variety of options for the 50-yard logo, including the beloved leaping tiger. Ultimately, they settled on... “B”.
The reasoning?
“We want our field to be immediately recognizable, and our primary logo accomplishes that in a clean, crisp way,” said Director of Strategy and...

Did the Bengals get a steal?
Now that the 2024 NFL Draft is over, the experts are grading how the Cincinnati Bengals did. Depending on who you listen to, you’ll find the Bengals rated anywhere between a C and an A.
ESPN’s Field Yates talked about some of his favorite value picks of the draft, and the Bengals’ selection of Tanner McLachlan made the list.
“McLachlan was one of my favorite sleepers in the class and my 113th-ranked player,” Yates said. “He has excellent size (6-foot-5, 244 pounds) and is an instinctive/smooth route runner with really good skills after the...

“Who Dey nation believes in me. I want nothing more than to prove every single person here right.”
A massive need for the Cincinnati Bengals during the NFL Draft was a defensive tackle after losing DJ Reader.
The Bengals quickly added to their depth at that position in the second round when they selected Michigan Wolverines defensive tackle Kris Jenkins.
Over the weekend, Bengals’ defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo talked about Jenkins and how excited they were to have him in Cincinnati.
“I just like everything about his game,” Anarumo stated. ”He’s a tough. Tough run defender. He’s got great football...

Maybe the Bengals see something in the former Oklahoma State/Michigan State running back.
The Cincinnati Bengals are busy following the 2024 NFL Draft, filling their roster with college football players who weren’t drafted.
One of those players the Bengals signed is Oklahoma State running back Elijah Collins.
According to Aaron Wilson, included in Collins’ contract was an $8,000 signing bonus, something most undrafted free agents don’t receive.
A bonus means it’s possible that there were multiple teams looking to sign Collins, and this was the Bengals' way to make sure he came to Cincinnati. It could be that they just...
