The Cincinnati Bengals have taken an extreme risk in NFL free agency so far by...doing very little.
Now, the question becomes whether the Bengals can salvage the start to the offseason in what is generally considered one of the most important stretches in franchise history before the 2025 season.
So far, the Bengals have primarily focused on locking down their own with names like tight end Mike Gesicki and defenders Joseph Ossai and B.J. Hill. Newcomers T.J. Slaton and linebacker Oren Burks on the defensive side of the ball are rotational players at best.
