The Cincinnati Bengals entered NFL free agency, sounding like they planned to chase top linebackers,

but they stayed quiet at a position they desperately needed to fix. Names like Kate and Ellis and

Leo Chanel topped many wish lists, but the Bengals never pursued them hard. Ellis signed a three-year

deal worth $33 million with the Atlanta Falcons. Watch Chanel join the Washington commanders

on a sapper, some afro. Three-year contract for $24.75 million. They also passed on Devon Lloyd early

in the market. Prices for these players climbed higher than the Bengals wanted to pay,

especially after spending on rookies, Demetrius Knight and Barrett Carter last. It's off season.

Now, the team faces more pressure than ever on those young sophomores. With no major better

and fallback at linebacker, their weakest spot from last. Season. Instead of big splashes,

the Bengals might eye cheaper options like Orrin Birx again, marking the second straight

off season a modest move at the Brings-In. Position. A quick thank you to our sponsor of today's episode.
