Summary
NFL Free Agency 2026 has Begun! The Bengals got off to their traditionally sluggish start, but they did eventually manage to overpay a couple of players to join the defense in 2026. While other teams were wheelin' and dealin', the Bengals seem content to maintain the status quo indefinitely. Trey Hendrickson will be back in Paycor Stadium, but wearing a purple Ravens jersey next season. Joseph Ossai left for the Jets. And the Bengals "replaced" them with Boye Mafe and his 2 sacks last season??? Bryan Cook should be much better than Geno Stone at safety, but we won't really know for 6 months when games are played. As Marvin Lewis said, "I see better than I hear". #nfl #bengals #whodey
