The Cincinnati Bengals should seemingly be in the market for a veteran running back. They lost Samaje Perine via free agency, and if they wanted to create some cap space, they could have reworked Joe Mixon’s deal or gotten rid of him.
So when the rumor was reported that the Bengals were one of the final three teams for Ezekiel Elliott, it made a little sense.
As it turns out, head coach Zac Taylor was pretty quick to refute the rumor in an interview with WCPO Cincinnati.
“There’s a lot of great players that are available right now,” Taylor told Mike Dyer from WCPO.
