Rookies are arriving to Bengals headquarters this week, as training camps across the league are set to open by July 28th. With the new year officially set to begin (albeit in a different-looking format), we wanted to field your questions.
John Sheeran and Anthony Cosenza took the air on Friday afternoon to field your Bengals questions and answer them on air. The topics ranged from rookies to veterans and even possible contracts and acquisitions in the coming weeks.
Here is some of what was discussed:
- What, if any new player acquisitions do we see being made this summer?
- Would we rather see the Bengals get a high-end free agent guard, or a tackle to potentially unseat Bobby Hart? And, if it’s the latter, would it be best to see Jonah Williams at left or right tackle with the new free agent?
- Do we expect Giovani Bernard to be cut—especially in light of the lower roster numbers needed for this year’s training camp?
- What contract extension updates, if any, are going on with William Jackson III and Joe Mixon?
- How much pressure is on Lou Anarumo with five new high-profile linebackers and other big-name positional free agents being signed to his side of the ball?
- What happens to any unsigned Bengals draft picks, if they don’t ink their contracts before the league potentially cancels the season due to the Covid-19 crisis?
That and a lot more!
