The Cincinnati Bengals have their starters set at linebacker, but they are attempting to round out depth at the position. Markus Bailey has not been re-signed, so they’re exploring backup options for the group.
According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Bengals are signing Wisconsin linebacker Maema Njongmeta as a priority undrafted free agent. Cincinnati was so adamant about getting his services that they ponied up a $15,000 signing bonus for him.

Njongmeta is a little on the smaller side by NFL standards for linebackers, coming in at 6-foot, 230 pounds at the NFL Combine.
