About this episode
The Bengals bolstered their defense in the 2026 NFL free agency, signing safety Bryan Cook, defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, and edge rusher Boye Mafe. They also retained Joe Flacco, Jalen Davis, and Tanner Hudson for backup and depth. Despite a stronger defense, the team still needs a linebacker to fill a gap and a versatile anchor from the draft to handle tight ends. Theyre passing on Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson and Tennessee corner Jermod McCoy due to concerns. GM Duke Tobin is holding out for the draft to address the linebacker hole and push for playoffs.
