It's the "Moneytalk" edition of the Bengals Booth Podcast as Dan Hoard, Dave Lapham and Geoff Hobson discuss the Bengals moves in free agency and answer questions from fans.
Trey Hendrickson’s Bengals contract helps good outweigh the bad
By now, Bengals fans know the drill — Hendrickson had 13.5 sacks last year but the number is a little misleading. Some of those were simple clean-ups or otherwise inflated and overall it was an anomaly of a performance. The team still hit him with a four-year deal worth $60 million.
How Close Did Cincinnati Bengals Get to Signing New York Giants star Kenny Golladay?
"They were in the running for Golladay big time," Lapham said on the Bengals Booth Podcast. "Golladay wanted to sign with the Bengals, [that's] my understanding.

Grading The Deal: Cincinnati Bengals Continue Roster Makeover
The Bengals signed Spain midway through last season to beef up depth on the offensive line. The veteran bet on himself this offseason, signing a one-year, $1.1 million deal.

Spain, 29, went undrafted out of West Virginia in 2015 and went on to play four years with the Titans before a brief stint in Buffalo.

The San Francisco 49ers executed a blockbuster trade on Friday, putting them in prime position to nab one of the top quarterbacks in the 2021 NFL Draft. While Clemson's Trevor Lawrence appears to be headed to Jacksonville to become the Jaguars' new QB1, the Niners clearly like the other top prospects at the game's most important position, having given the Dolphins two first-round picks and a third in order to move up nine slots in this year's draft to No. 3 overall.
DeSean Jackson on joining Rams: Reuniting with Sean McVay an 'intriguing' factor
"There were other options out there. I could have went to other teams, other places. But my focus was really reuniting with Sean McVay," Jackson said on Friday, via the team's official transcript. "Talking to McVay once I was a free agent and really just kind of having those open conversations, talking about the possibilities, it was something that was intriguing for me. So, I think that overweighs everything."
