Sam Hubbard talks with Cincy Jungle about Miller Lite partnership to give a lucky Bengals fan an honorary contract

I was able to get some FaceTime with the Cincinnati kid to discuss his partnership with Miller Lite, the team’s new-look defensive line, and more!

The Cincinnati Bengals have a new-look defensive line. DJ Reader is gone, and the team has brought in one or two defensive tackles to help fill the void he left, but three. They signed Sheldon Rankins in free agency and drafted Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson.

There will be a lot of new faces rotating in and out of the Bengals 2024 defensive line, but one of the familiar faces will still be there. Sam...

Trey Hendrickson practicing at Bengals offseason workouts

Wonderful news.

Trey Hendrickson may want a trade, but all indications are he’ll remain with the Cincinnati Bengals for the 2024 NFL season.

Ever since Hendrickson requested a trade prior to the NFL Draft, the Bengals have maintained that their star defensive end won’t be going anywhere.

It would appear Hendrickson is accepting this reality.

On Monday, the Bengals posted a video of Hendrickson participating in offseason workouts.

Hendrickson has become one of the NFL’s best pass-rushers since 2020, racking up 53 sacks during that span while helping the Bengals achieve three straight winning seasons and five playoff wins after...

Weighing in at 6-foot-3 and 260 pounds, Johnson played in 46 games with 29 starts during his four-year career in Oxford. He finished with 112 total tackles, 22 tackles for loss, 19 sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and four pass deflections while playing throughout the Ole Miss defensive line.

Grade the Bengals’ offseason

Grade the Bengals’ offseason

How would you grade the Bengals’ offseason?

The Cincinnati Bengals are looking to return to the Super Bowl in the 2024 season with quarterback Joe Burrow making his return from injury.

However, there were clearly some needs that needed to be addressed this offseason to ensure that the Bengals had a roster that was ready to compete.

Starting with the staff, the Bengals lost their offensive coordinator when Brian Callahan agreed to become the next head coach of the Tennessee Titans.

To fill the spot, the Bengals promoted QB coach Dan Pitcher to become the new OC and promoted Brad...

Joe Burrow started a new diet for the upcoming season

The Bengals QB’s trainer shared details on Burrow’s new diet

Cincinnati Bengals fans could celebrate last Monday when the team posted a video of Joe Burrow back in the building throwing footballs again.

Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury last year and has been working to get back to full health since his surgery.

Burrow has been vocal about a new approach to his health this upcoming season to prevent injury and prevent re-aggravating previous injuries.

“We’re bigger. Definitely bigger. We’ll see where I’m at at the end of the offseason. I feel good about where my body is right...

The Bengals first round pick has been putting in hours with Frank Pollack

The Cincinnati Bengals are hopeful to have drafted their next franchise right tackle, a term that has not been full-filled in Cincinnati for years.

The Bengals have struggled to protect Joe Burrow and it is clear the franchise is tired of seeing him on the ground.

Joe Burrow has the best offensive line of his career in front of him this upcoming season, and arguably a top 10 line in the NFL.

Orlando Brown Jr., Cordell Volson, Ted Karras, Alex Cappa, and Trent Brown/Amarius Mims solidify the...

Bengals scouts share their opinions on draft class with The Athletic

Here’s a glimpse into the minds of the Bengals scouts as they put together their draft boards.

As the Cincinnati Bengals players trickle back into the team’s facility for offseason workout programs, the scouting department is getting back to business by building their lists for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Before they got too busy, though, director of pro scouting Steven Radicevic and director of college scouting Mike Potts sat down with The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. to share their thoughts about most of the team’s picks in this year’s draft class.

The conversation started with the team’s first-round pick of...

Joe Burrow shows support for Tee Higgins and Trey Hendrickson amid trade requests

No. 9 has his player’s back.

Things get tricky when teams try to keep a close-knit group of players, all of whom deserve to be paid at a high level together.

The Cincinnati Bengals are facing that situation right now with Trey Hendrickson and Tee Higgins both looking for a new deal, watching the team make their quarterback the highest-paid player in the NFL the offseason prior.

Burrow’s $275 million extension made him the highest-paid player in the NFL, and while he deserves that deal, things like that take up cap and paying Higgins and Hendrickson comes a more difficult...

Bengals’ supporting cast ranking shows just how important Joe Burrow really is

The compiled list of supporting cast rankings shows just how much Joe Burrow has had to overcome in his first three years.

There have been a lot of narratives about Joe Burrow and how he has been carried by having two elite weapons in Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase.

However, a new look into supporting casts by Ian Hartitz indicates that that may not be the whole truth.

In the post, linked below, Hartitz shows how through Joe Burrow’s career, the Bengals supporting cast has been ranked 16th, 18th, and 22nd in Joe Burrow’s three years.
