BENGALS SQUAD SHOW: Bengals SEND MESSAGE by DECLINING Myles Murphy's FIFTH-YEAR option

After signing Boye Mafe in free agency and drafting Cashius Howell in the Second Round in the NFL Draft, the Bengals declined to pick up Myles Murphy's fifth-year option. Duke Tobin says they want to have a long-term relationship with the ascending edge rusher, so is this the right thing for the Bengals to do with Murphy? Alex Frank, Coach Art Valero, and CLNS Media Bengals beat writer Mike Petraglia discuss how the Bengals are sending a message to Myles Murphy by not picking up his fifth-year option. 

Colbie Young is the Bengals' riskiest draft pick, and it's not just for his off-the-field suspension in 2024. Can Young silence the concerns about him and potentially become this team's WR3? If Young can, Andrei Iosivas's future with the team may be in serious question. But if both Young and Iosivas both don't produce this season, then what does WR3 look like? 

The Bengals' front office has never been under more scrutiny than this offseason. To their credit, they have responded and delivered. How much credit should they get right now, and is there more they could do this offseason?
