CINCINNATI -- When the Cincinnati Bengals return to the field in 2017, they will probably look a little different than the squad that finished 6-9-1.
Longtime team leaders Andrew Whitworth and Domata Peko are scheduled to become free agents. Guard Kevin Zeitler and cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick probably will command significant interest on the open market. Running back Rex Burkhead, long stuck behind Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard, showed what he could do with two touchdowns against the Ravens, who came into the game as the second-ranked run defense.
