Summary
The Cincinnati Bengals haven't signed a linebacker this offseason, and that's led some to the conclusion that they simply didn't want to add a starter with Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter on the roster. Jake Liscow and James Rapien don't buy it, so we get into a mythbusting episode and break down what the Bengals' intention was for the offseason, why they pivoted to other plans, and how much of a blemish not signing a linebacker leaves on an exciting offseason of defensive additions. Plus, we discuss the remaining options and the best potential floor-raising fits if the Bengals do add a linebacker late in the offseason.
