Linebacker Vincent Rey will return to the Cincinnati Bengals after agreeing to a three-year deal, league sources told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.
Rey becomes the third key member of the Bengals defense to be re-signed with the team. Safety George Iloka and cornerback Adam Jones also have agreed to return to the Bengals.
Although he has been a reserve linebacker his entire six-year career in Cincinnati, Rey has led the team in tackles each of the past two seasons. Injuries forced him into a larger role, and he excelled in it.
