Linebacker is perhaps the most interesting on the Cincinnati Bengals roster. There is a lot of young talent there, but as contracts come up, who can the Bengals afford to keep?
First up is Germaine Pratt, who truly established himself as the team’s top linebacker this year, despite often coming off the field in passing situations. The team will have to make a decision on Pratt in the coming weeks.
The Bengals have depth at the linebacker position, but the next-man-up philosophy will only buy them a year. Logan Wilson, Markus Bailey, and Akeem Davis-Gaither are all potential free agents in 2024.
