NFL Insider Believes Cincinnati Bengals Safety Jessie Bates Will Play Out 2021 Season Without a New Contract
CINCINNATI — Bengals safety Jessie Bates is entering the final year of his rookie contract. The 24-year-old would like to sign a long-term deal in Cincinnati, but one NFL insider doesn't think it's going to happen before the start of the regular season.
Bengals: Ja’Marr Chase should recall Tee Higgins was slow starter too
As fans might recall, Higgins had a nagging injury issue in camp, initially had problems adjusting to NFL speed and wasn’t a major factor in the team’s season opener, all this while the Bengals were talking him up as a first-round prospect they happened to find in the second round.
Bengals doing what they can to help rookie WR Ja'Marr Chase work through drop issues
Not quite “cONfiRm yOUr AmAZoN aCCouNt”-level spam, but almost as hard to believe. Only, the sender wasn’t unknown. It came from offensive line coach Frank Pollack, and he could confirm the premise because he remembers being there.

Barring something odd taking place, we can colloquially consider the trade: Sony Michel for a fourth-rounder

The 31-year-old was expected to be ready by training camp, so starting on the PUP list was a bit of a concern for a player expected to have a significant role in the offense. Getting Rudolph back at practice now, however, gives him just under three weeks to ramp up before the regular season kicks off.
Packers CB Kevin King not running from past 'failures': 'It's a learning experience'
Those struggles included getting beaten by Mike Evans for a TD, infamously being burned deep by Scott Miller on a 39-yard TD late in the first half that turned the tide of the game, and getting called for a pass interference penalty that essentially ended the game.
2021 NFL season preview: Ranking all eight divisions
The best thing about the NFL is its devotion to parity. Since the league expanded to eight divisions in 2002, there have only been two seasons (2014 and '19) in which a team did not go from worst to first. It's those very dynamics that make the sport so attractive to fans who believe that all they need is a few good breaks for their favorite teams to rise to the top.
