When the Cincinnati Bengals recruited offensive tackle Riley Reiff in free agency last March, one of the Bengals coaches told Reiff that “he wasn’t going to let (Reiff) leave town” without signing a contract with the team.
At the start of the offseason, one of the Bengals biggest priorities was to find a starting right tackle. When the best offensive tackles on the market didn’t hit free agency, Reiff was one of two proven starters left on the board.
The Bengals didn’t let Reiff leave town. Cincinnati signed him to a one-year contract, and he has lived up to expectations.
