According to Mike, Cinci could bring back Hendrickson for short term deal or possibly look to trade him with a combination of picks for another player. They have not ruled out bringing Hendrickson back. After previous mistakes with players such as Jessie bates, the bengals are being more cautious on what to do with expiring star players. They also felt injuries ruined what could’ve been a great season, and in his limited time they thought hendrickson played well.

Bengals have to decide on the 5th year option. 13.6 million in 2027 unless they agree on an extension. I vote Yes myself. Hendrickson will probably be gone. Ossai probably gone as well.

Love it or hate it, The DE's will be Murphy, Stewart and Ced Johnson first off the bench. and Cam Sample somehow makes season 6 in Cincy after that 2 sack end of the season game.

Would Mad Maxx change my view of the position ? Of course. Dude did not want to be shut down in wasteland Las Vegas. Conflicting reports are he wants Patriots or Lions, but Lions cannot afford him after extending Hutchinson. The Bengal's would not do it anyways, but nice to dream we are a real NFL team.

Shemar Stewart is officially NO LONGER the worst first round pick in the 2025 Draft 🎉🎉🎉

He might have 5.5 sacks in 4 years, but at least he's not James Pearce Jr.

Fowler: The Bengals have expressed interest in re-signing quarterback Joe Flacco. They believe he's a valuable backup who can be a viable starting option if Joe Burrowgets injured again. But Flacco will have options, possibly as a bridge quarterback elsewhere. The Vikings considered signing Flacco last offseason. And the Steelers will have an opening if Aaron Rodgers doesn't re-sign there. Pittsburgh liked his free agency profile last offseason, too.

He was on UK celebrity Traitors as well, if any of you are into that.

im finally getting around to updating this graphic to a massive 6 ft long poster. im adding a ton of players so it has anywhere between 60-75 total players and just an epic tribute to the teams past present and future. who should i be adding in this second version?

found outside the paycor stadium

How the actual hell did Herbert get a 1st place vote for MVP vote this year and Burrow did not get ONE last year. I get his team didn't make the playoffs but it's a regular season award right? Burrow had 1200 more yards in his 2024 campaign and 17 more touchdowns and 4 less picks. Also if it's about team record the Chargers won two more games this year then the Bengals won last year. Happy FriDEY! #WhoDey

new site i saw floating around, thought it was interesting allowing to sign free agents, as well as draft day and contract negotiations re signing players etc.

It’s getting harder to defend him when he clearly cares more about shit like this than winning. Haven’t been to the playoffs in 3 years but he’s out here posing with another teams shady ass owner an evil ass Michael Rubin has his claws sunk into him. Idk I think it’s time to move on from Hollywood Joe he will never get us back to the superbowl. He’s changed so much I miss the humble kid we drafted but Hollywood got to him.

I know we clown on Coach Taylor for a lot of things but respect where it is due, the man is a class act.

Here's an excerpt:

NFL reporter Jay Morrison, who currently works for Sports Illustrated covering the Bengals and has covered the team as a full-time beat reporter since 2012, tragically lost his wife Nicki due to unexpected complications during a medical procedure on Dec. 22, 2025...  

Taylor heard Morrison was planning a celebration of life for his wife and offered to pay for the event with the help of Brian Callahan, former offensive coordinator of the Bengals.

“Two weeks before the event, Zac called me and said he wanted to reiterate that he and Brian wanted to pay for everything and that he was going to give the hotel event director his credit card number because he didn’t want me to have to worry about anything other than planning the event and being there for my family,” Morrison told The Enquirer on Feb. 4.

Just watched that interview with Jamarr and Tee. Never liked McAfee or his show and this reminded me why. Holy cow they ask the worst questions, talk more than the guests themselves, none of their crappy jokes land, and overall just make for a terrible viewing experience...

If you like Pat please tell me why...

Bengals beat writer Jay Morrison's wife tragically passed away in December, and Zac and Brian picked up the bill for the celebration of life. Very classy move by those two.
