Bengals negotiating to keep Joseph Ossai in Cincinnati

While Tee Higgins, Ja’Marr Chase, and Trey Hendrickson get most of the attention, the Bengals have several other key players they want to keep in Cincinnati.

One of them is defensive end Joseph Ossai, who had a solid 2024 season and is now entering NFL free agency for the first time.

According to WLWT reporter Charlie Clifford, the Bengals are working to re-sign Ossai.

“The Bengals are engaged in negotiations to keep pass rusher Joseph Ossai, league sources tell WLWT,” Clifford wrote on Twitter.

“As the DE market continues to take shape, the free agent remains a priority in Cincinnati.
