Safety spot up for grabs as Bengals open OTAs
CINCINNATI Remember those days back in school when teachers would assign work over the summer break? Despite how sure we all were that it was just a form of adult torture as they attempted to ruin our summers with reading and review, turns out they actually wanted us to be as ready as possible for that next school year.
Welcome to the start of the Bengals organized team activities...

Bengals Using Rookie TE Tyler Eifert All Over The Field

2013 NFL Draft Team Grades: Cincinnati Bengals
First Round: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
Hmm. I never even considered Eifert to the Bengals, but I like this idea. Pairing him with Gresham could be an awesome combo for Andy Dalton. This could be a mini version of Gronk/Hernandez. I'm a bit surprised by this pick, so I'm a bit iffy on how to grade this. It doesn't fit a big need, but the value is great and...

Grading the Draft: Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals struggled offensively in the playoffs last season, particularly second-year quarterback Andy Dalton. Recognizing this, Cincinnati drafted him some help with their first two picks, taking two skill players who should aid in Dalton’s development and give him playmakers not named A.J. Green. The excuses are running out for Dalton heading into year three and he will be...

Cincinnati Bengals: Don't Over-think This Draft
Let us just jump into the meat and potatoes of what I would want from the Bengals' draft. Priority No. 1 would be to get away from Andy Dalton, but I understand we won't be doing that so I'd focus on West Virginia wide receiver Tavon Austin. Now I won't go all Mike Ditka and give up my whole draft for him but he is my favorite player in the draft. I would trade...

Dalton, Green seek to regain comfort zone

The Bengals won more games in 2012 than they did in 2011, but when all was said and done the seasons ended the same way: a playoff loss in Houston.
The way the offense played the final six games left Dalton...
Bengals approach draft after underwhelming free agency
Two weeks are left before the NFL Draft, which means the meat of free agency is about over. The Bengals have stuck to their word about focusing on re-signing their own and, given they've been a playoff team the last two years, that's a good plan to follow. It
