Andrew Whitworth’s comment about Zac Taylor says it all about Bengals

With being all-in comes major expectations and the understanding that if those possible ceilings aren’t hit, the current hot seats will lead to consequences.

2026 Position Primer: Running Backs

Chase Brown notched his first season with over 1,000 rushing yards in 2025, gaining 1,019 yards on the ground with an average of 4.29 yards per carry. He also served as a threat in the pass game, catching a career high and Bengals record 69 passes (fifth among all running backs) for 437 yards (sixth). The fifth-round pick out of...

This time of year features all the major sports media outlets releasing their NFL Preview Magazines. If you’re like me, this becomes Black Friday shopping in the summer, where you hit up all the major grocery stores to see if they have these magazines in stock.

Fortunately for me, on June 11th, I found Lindy’s NFL Preview at Meijer. Lindy’s is really good at going in-depth on each team and division in the NFL. They also give their division, wild card, playoff, and Super Bowl predictions.

This year, Lindy’s has the Bengals picked to make the Super Bowl. They have...

The Cincinnati Bengals beefed up their defensive line, improved their secondary, and even added depth to their o-line.

But the one important thing left is to give their young linebackers someone they can learn from.

So that’s why ESPN’s Aaron Schatz says the final offseason move the Bengals need to make in late June or early July is to sign former New York Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke.

“Linebackers Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter were not very good as rookies for the Bengals last season, and it’s a position where the team can definitely still upgrade,” the NFL analyst wrote....

ESPN thinks the walls are quickly closing in on Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals’ chances of winning a Super Bowl
Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Orlando Brown Jr., Dexter Lawrence, Boye Mafe, and Bryan Cook are still under contract at that point. That’s a solid core of players that can help win a lot of games. Obviously, there will be additional turnover, along with new deals, that add and subtract the situation. The point still stands: The Bengals, currently on paper, have a multi-year window when it comes to being a competitive team.

Here’s the good news: Athlon Sports picked the Bengals to win the AFC North this season.

The not-so-good news: They have the Bengals losing at home in the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs to the New England Patriots.

Athlon Sports has the Bengals getting back to the playoffs for the first time since 2022 by winning one of the NFL’s toughest divisions. Keep in mind, though, that the Bengals are the only team in the AFC North to keep their head coach going into this season. The other three teams all changed head coaches this past January.

Continuity...

Before mandatory minicamps wrapped up last week, Joe Burrow met with the media to discuss what was a very busy offseason for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Among the topics discussed was Burrow’s decision to change his leadership style to be more vocal this year.

“If something isn’t up to a standard, then calling it out right then and there,” Burrow said. “Maybe a little louder than I have in the past. That’s a growth as a leader that maybe I keep doing it, maybe I don’t. I don’t know, but certainly try it out and just try to bring a little...

Greetings, Bengals fans!

With the offseason now in full swing with OTAs concluding, the Bengals can now focus on getting new deals done for cornerbacks DJ Turner and Dax Hill, as well as running back Chase Brown. All three are set to be unrestricted free agents in 2027, though Turner is likely the one they’ll prioritize since he’s already playing at a very high level, while there’s a premium put on boundary corners at his level.

However, it’s a little dicier for Hill and Brown, especially since the Bengals have limited cap space at the moment. I believe the team...

The Cincinnati Bengals may already have their answer at slot corner.

According to Dan Hoard, veteran defensive back Jalen Davis will enter training camp as the favorite to start inside for new defensive coordinator Al Golden. After spending years as one of the team’s most reliable backups, Davis appears poised to compete for a full-time role.

“He gives me so much confidence on defense as a play caller because I know that he’s always going to right the ship,” Golden said recently, per Hoard. “He’s always going to communicate where he’s lined up and what we need to get done.”...

DJ Turner II did not have to be there.

The Cincinnati Bengals cornerback is entering the final year of his rookie contract and could have easily stayed away from voluntary offseason workouts while waiting for a new deal. Around the NFL, established veterans regularly make that decision. Turner chose a different path.

“It’s big. It’s big, for sure,” Turner told reporters when asked about reporting early despite the uncertainty surrounding his contract situation. “We have a lot of new faces on defense. It’s big, getting around everybody, and just being around the team.”

For a Bengals’ defense undergoing major changes...

I was born in 1983, so the Super Bowl appearance that closed out the decade of hair metal and jean jackets is a very distant memory for me. I can’t honestly say I was a football fan at seven years old, but I vaguely remember my family and the neighborhood celebrating the season.

I didn’t really come of age as a football fan until the Broncos unveiled their new uniforms in 1997 and won the Super Bowl in 1998 and 1999. My dad, of course, was a Bengals fan, having grown up watching them play at Nippert Stadium before Riverfront...
