When the NFL offseason kicked off in March, many knew the Cincinnati Bengals had a decision to make.
With both Larry Ogunjobi and B.J. Hill having career seasons and expiring contracts, it was a foregone conclusion one of the two would depart for a lucrative deal elsewhere. Initially, Ogunjobi was the one to depart when a deal with the Chicago Bears was announced.
Ogunjobi had a three-year deal worth $40.5 million agreed to in the Windy City before a failed physical nullified it. Hill went on to sign a three-year, $30 million contract to stay in Cincinnati.
