Its been an interesting offseason thus far for the Cincinnati Bengals as theyve lost a number players despite having plenty of cap space at their disposal. ESPNs Adam Schefter reports that the Bengals have signed former Texans CB Jason Allen. Cincy had to find an additional cornerback to play opposite of Leon Hall and Allen is at the very least a serviceable player. Allen is coming off of a decent season where he allowed just a 50.6 completion percentage.
