Bengals pursued Joe Schobert before he signed with Jaguars

The Cincinnati Bengals wanted us to believe they’d be more active in free agency this year.

As it turns out, they made a push for free agent Joe Schobert, who would have been a massive boost to a defense in desperate need of quality backers.

Unfortunately, the Bengals’ efforts were all for not, as the Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to a monster deal with Schobert.

The Bengals were trying aggressively to get ILB Joe Schobert but wouldn't match Jacksonville's final asking price, which is a massive five-year, $53.
