Cincinnati Bengals
Tee Higgins will be switching from Team Nike to Team Under Armour, according to a report from Jordan Schultz. The Bengals’ star receiver is expected to be a key part of marketing for the Under Armour football brand moving forward.
Higgins and fellow Bengals receiver Ja´Marr Chase signed long-term extensions with the Bengals last offseason. Now, Higgins is cashing in again with a move to the Under Armour brand. There are not currently any details of exactly how much he will be getting paid, but it is certainly a lucrative deal for the charismatic wide receiver.

The Cincinnati Bengals did seemingly everything they could to improve a subpar defense.
Apparently, it wasn’t enough for ESPN’s Seth Walder in his grades for the 2026 NFL offseason.
The analytics writer didn’t think Cincinnati went about rebuilding the defense the right way. He called the trade for Dexter Lawrence “unwise” and “too pricey a trade” for a “good player who has been elite in the past.”
Walder cited Lawrence’s 8.4% pass rush win rate and 0.5 sacks last season as evidence that the 28-year-old nose tackle is on the decline.
The analyst then criticized the Jonathan Allen signing, writing,...

Greetings, Bengals fans!
It’s no secret that defense has been a major issue in Cincinnati for several years now, which is why the team was extremely aggressive in finding upgrades this offseason. Perhaps the biggest upgrade of all came to the pass rush, which mustered up just 35 sacks last year, tied for the seventh-fewest in the NFL.
And while Trey Hendrickson is one of the league’s best pass-rushers, he only appeared in seven games, and he went out early in two of those, so the Bengals were without him for much of the season.
Now, the Bengals have a...

Yahoo Sports fantasy analyst Matt Harmon makes the case for Cincinnati’s front five as the league’s most underrated unit, citing their improved run game and the narrative that still unfairly dogs them nationally despite a solid second-half performance last season.

While most of the Cincinnati Bengals‘ starting positions are decided, one of the biggest battles entering training camp is at slot cornerback.
A second-year undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech, Bralyn Lux, could push Jalen Davis for a starting spot at nickel corner during the 2026 season.
The Bengals decided to bring back Bralyn Lux with a reserve/future contract in January of 2026. If he makes the active roster, Lux would earn...

The 2026 NFL season is quickly approaching as the Cincinnati Bengals look to show off several new additions on defense this fall. Featuring players like Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen, and Boye Mafe, it’s actually one of the safeties the team signed this offseason that is getting some praise from one defensive starter.
Jordan Battle is entering his fourth season with the franchise, and in a recent interview with the Bengals Booth Podcast, he talked about the addition of Bryan Cook and the game-changer he could be for the defense this coming season.
“He was very quiet at first, but, you...

Could Joe Burrow going under center unlock explosive plays? The Bengals are investigating

Our coaching staff has done a great job this offseason of putting a plan together to try to execute that. So I’m excited to see how it works out.”

Every NFL offseason brings its fair share of outrageous hypotheticals.
This year’s? The notion that the Cincinnati Bengals should entertain trading franchise quarterback Joe Burrow.
It’s the kind of debate that generates clicks and radio segments, but former Bengals offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth made it abundantly clear where he stands on the idea—and his response should resonate with anyone who has followed the franchise’s transformation over the last six years.
Speaking recently, Whitworth didn’t just dismiss the speculation. He essentially laughed at the premise.
“I think sometimes that it sounds fun to (speculate),” Whitworth said, via The Cincinnati Enquirer. “I...

Joe Burrow famously once said that the Bengals’ Super Bowl window is his whole career. The good news for him and the entire team and organization is that the window is being reopened with the offseason they have had.
Trading for Dexter Lawrence and signing all of the free agents that they did, in addition to restructuring Joe Burrow’s rookie contract, has brought back Super Bowl expectations and hopes.
Bleacher Report’s Gridiron Instagram account recently unveiled what they believe are the Super Bowl windows for every NFL team. For the Bengals, they say 1-6 years. That means they believe the...
