The Bengals are looking to re-sign a handful of their own players when free agency starts next week, but they’ve already been pretty active looking at veterans already on the market that they think can help them shore up some weaknesses.
Tony Paige, the agent for former Washington and Tampa Bay defensive tackle Chris Baker, said his client has agreed to a one-year deal as the Bengals try to beef up the middle of a defense that finished third from the NFL bottom in allowing rushing yards per game.
That came a week after eight-year safety Kurt Coleman visited them at Paul Brown Stadium and in Indianapolis at the NFL scouting combine with his 21 career interceptions.
