"If you look at the progression in my routes from the first day I got here until now, you would think I went through a boot camp for three months," says Iosivas, who instead of becoming a world-class decathlete has chosen to study the out-of-this-world moves of Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase.

"One of these guys (quarterbacks) is going to get a deal that pays him a percentage of the salary cap. And that's fair. That's the way to do it," Florio said on the Pat McAfee Show.

The Bengals inked his fellow linebacker, Germaine Pratt, back in March on a three-year, $21 million deal, which means an extension for Wilson, who enters a contract year, could happen and happen soon.

Five Bengals Veterans On The Roster Bubble
Hakeem Adeniji has played a ton of snaps in quite a few important games throughout his time in Cincinnati. From right guard to left and right tackle, Adeniji has played almost every position on the offensive line. But with the new additions of Cody Ford and Orlando Brown, Adeniji will get bumped back on the depth chart. He will likely be fighting with D’Ante Smith and Jaxson Kirkland for one single roster spot, and the Bengals may opt for youth and upside over Adeniji’s known skillset.

First of all, I'm a big fan of Arthur Smith. Despite going 7-10 in each of his first two seasons in the big chair, Smith is a fabulous coach. The third year will indeed be the charm, given the growth and upgrading of the roster. Second-year quarterback Desmond Ridder has a true chance to be solid under Smith's watchful eye -- especially with the NFL experience gained since his third-round selection in the 2022 draft.

"If you look at the history of our offense here, 2020 was really trying to figure out who we were wanting to be," McCarthy said Thursday, via the team website’s Kyle Youmans. "I think the evolution from 2021 to 2022 is really the direction we want to continue to build off of."
