Not Zac Taylor

JOE BURROW JUKES 😤 @JoeyB @Bengals

If I am a Bengals fan I am having a stroke watching Joe Burrow in this game

"The opportunity to win a gold medal, I've thought about a moment like that since I was a kid." Joe Burrow on the mic in Los Angeles before the Flag Football Classic Saturday on @FOX19. #Bengals star no doubt plans to compete in the Olympics in 2028.

Oh wow. Logan Wilson announced his retirement. Crazy how quick things turned, but we still all know he wasn’t holding on THAT play. Best of luck to a good dude

Trade: Panthers are trading veteran QB Andy Dalton to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick, per sources.

Hey y’all, A.J. Green here. This is for Rondale. ❤️ theplayerstribune.com/aj-green-nfl-f…

Former Bengals CB Cam Taylor-Britt is expected to sign with the Colts, per source. He visited today and now is set for a reunion with DC Lou Anarumo.

Around the league, the average year 1 cap hit for free agent contracts was 50.5% of their new APY. The Bengals did it at an 80.9% rate. Let's say they were still on the conservative side but not at the extreme like they currently are. Let's say they were at the 55% mark. They would have saved $12.17M on this year's cap. Sure, that $12M would still need to be accounted for in future years, but that's just $6M per year and the Bengals have a projected $100M in cap space in 2027. That extra $12M in cap space could have netted two more quality starters on defense. $12m is 4% of the current cap. $6M next year is just 1.8% of next year's projected cap. The final years $6M would then be 1.7% of that year's projected cap. 4% now vs 3.5% in future years. And that's the final tweet on how the Bengals structure contracts and how it limits them.

Reminder he has publicly asked them to do so

“Paramount” Just a reminder of how Joe Burrow viewed free agency for the Bengals:

6 #Bengals players had contract triggers vest this weekend: Ja’Marr Chase’s $28.9M 2027 salary is now guaranteed $18.3M of Joe Burrow’s 2027 salary is now guaranteed Tee Higgins earned a $10M roster bonus, and his $10.9M salary is now guaranteed B.J. Hill earned a $2M roster bonus Mike Gesicki earned a $2M roster bonus Samaje Perine earned a $200k roster bonus

Yes, the Bengals gave out the two highest 2026 Cap Hits to APY deals. The average 2026 Cap Hit was 51% of the Average Per Year. The other teams that gave out big Year 1 Cap Hits? Raiders, Titans, Cardinals. Because they don't have a QB to pay and had tons of cap space. And it's not like the Bengals are offering less cash in year one. Their year 1 Cash to APY ratio is amongst the highest in the league. They're not saving cash. They're not saving cap. They're just limiting their 2026 team. Again.

Defensive Ends that got multi year deals and their 2026 Cap Hits $17.0M - Boye Mafe $9.9M - Jaelan Phillips $9.4M - Kwity Paye $7.5M - Joseph Ossai $7.2M - Dre'Mont Jones $6.5M - Bradley Chubb $5.4M - Rashan Gary We're still waiting for numbers on Trey Hendrickson and Odafe Oweh.

Tell her Josh Johnson still doin it

This will be Josh Johnson’s third stint with the Bengals and his 22nd — 22nd! — NFL stop since he started with the Cleveland Browns in 2012.

So did we know we were going to end up with extra cap space and still just decided not to use it? I mean, they still can, but are they going to go “all in”?

It’s a two-year, $32 million extension for Orlando Brown Jr., who gets a $14M bonus at signing and is now due $20.85 million in 2026. Notably, his contract now includes $3M each year in per-game roster bonuses — $176,470.59 for every game he’s active.

Andrew Whitworth: "If you wanna talk about a window ... Cincinnati has a window." Ryan Fitzpatrick: "As long as Joe Burrow's healthy we know what kind of offense that's gonna be." Fitz & Whit think there's an open window for the Bengals in the AFC North this season 👀
