The Cincinnati Bengals were active during Week 1 of NFL free agency and continued to stay in the news into Week 2. With money to spend and voids to fill, Cincinnati hasn’t been shy about adding veteran players.
In this week’s episode of The PFN Bengals Podcast, Jay Morrison and Dallas Robinson discuss the newest Cincinnati addition, consider who’s still available on the free agent market, and ponder a March Madness-style bracket of past Bengals free agent additions.
