Daring moves for all 32 NFL teams in the 2021 offseason
From new homes for J.J. Watt and Cam Newton, to teams that should trade up to draft a QB, these are bold -- but reasonable -- suggestions for every club.
From new homes for J.J. Watt and Cam Newton, to teams that should trade up to draft a QB, these are bold -- but reasonable -- suggestions for every club.
The Bengals could be in the market for another dynamic receiver and the skill sets of Chase and Pitts fit well in Zac Taylor's scheme.
Justin Hill will be the Cincinnati Bengals' new running backs coach, the team announced on Friday. Hill spent the previous six seasons holding the same position at the University of Tulsa. The Bengals also confirmed Troy Walters' promotion to be the team's wide receivers coach, which ESPN's Adam Rittenberg reported in January. Brad Kragthorpe will replace Walters as the team's assistant wide receivers coach.
Two more longtime Bengals could be on the move, freeing up cap space for another important offseason for the rebuild under Zac Taylor.
From franchises that will tear it all down to those that just need a few tweaks, here are the offseason priorities for all 32 teams.
"Line 1" for the Bengals means keeping their franchise QB upright and that could start with their top pick in the NFL draft.
What if the Jets offered the Jaguars a haul for No. 1 overall? What if the Eagles missed out on a top WR? What if the Cowboys could pick any defender? NFL Nation weighs in.
The remaining teams in the playoffs show it's hard to win at a high level without a great offense, and that's just what Taylor intends on building.
A misdemeanor battery charge against Bengals cornerback Mackensie Alexander was dismissed Tuesday.
Justin Herbert or Justin Jefferson for the top offensive rookie? Is the top defensive player Chase Young or Jeremy Chinn? We ranked the top 10 first-years of the season.
One Ohio franchise ended its playoff victory drought, but the Bengals' 30-year dry spell remains tops in the NFL. How much longer do they have to wait?
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow says he hopes to being throwing in mid-February as he continues to recover from surgery on his left knee. He added that Week 1 remains his goal for a return.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow said the feedback from doctors suggests he's ahead of schedule in his recovery from knee surgery six weeks ago. In an interview with Fox on Monday, Burrow said his left knee “looks like it's about 10 to 12 weeks out from surgery.” Burrow: "I'm on track to do what I need to do this offseason to start Week 1."
The Cincinnati Bengals hired Frank Pollack as their offensive line coach and run game coordinator, the team announced Saturday. Pollack was the team's offensive line coach in 2018, Marvin Lewis' final season as head coach. "He brings great technical skills in player development and his familiarity with some of our current offensive linemen will allow him to get to work right away," Bengals coach Zac Taylor said in a statement.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told Fox Sports 1 that his rehabilitation process is on track for him to be able to practice during the preseason and be ready for the beginning of the regular season.
Taylor got the backing of management for a third season, but the underlying message is key: The Bengals must "capitalize on the opportunities" in 2021.
Bengals starting center Trey Hopkins suffered a torn ACL, coach Zac Taylor said Monday. Hopkins was quickly ruled out of Cincinnati's Week 17 loss against Baltimore with a left knee injury. A source familiar with the situation initially indicated Hopkins had injured the ACL in that knee, which Taylor confirmed on Monday. Hopkins, an undrafted free agent out of Texas, has been the team's primary starter the last two seasons. In 2019, Hopkins signed a 3-year extension than runs through 2022.
The Cincinnati Bengals will bring back head coach Zac Taylor next season despite going 6-25-1 over the past two seasons, the team announced Monday morning.
