The Bengals' defensive ends became a weak spot on the team last year after being a consistent strength during the team's rise to perennial playoff team. Cincinnati's defensive ends combined for just 11.5 sacks last year, but there's reason to expect that number to significantly increase this year.
Comings and Goings:
Cincinnati made two significant moves at defensive end this offseason. The first of which was cutting a long-time Bengal in Robert Geathers. That ended an 11-year career, which began when the Bengals selected Geathers with a fourth-round pick during the 2004 NFL Draft.
