New Bengals LB Joe Bachie was a popular player on waivers, as the Broncos and Saints also tried to claim the former Michigan State standout.
Bachie signed with the Saints as a UDFA last year, who attempted to bring him back. Cincy had highest priority.

It’s an open secret that the New Orleans Saints could use some help at linebacker, but they won’t be reuniting with Joe Bachie. The former Michigan State standout inked an impressive undrafted rookie deal with the black and gold in 2020 but spent most of the season on their practice squad; his position coach gave him a big vote of confidence for his abilities on defense, but a lack of upside on special teams kept him on the bench.
