It is that glorious time of year when the entire NFL admits that they all can\u2019t stand not being able to tamper before the actual start of free agency to start getting their deals done, so the league had to make an official legal tampering period that starts two days prior to the start of the new league year.<\/p>\n
The Cincinnati Bengals have made News in this period previously, but they usually make most of their deals once the actual free agency period begins.<\/p>\n

Bengals Predicted to Replace Trey Hendrickson With Big-Money Free Agent Pass Rusher<\/a> Bengals were a latecomer to Maxx Crosby trade sweepstakes<\/a> Advertisement<\/p>\n Who are the top free agents available for Cincinnati Bengals?<\/a>
The Cincinnati Bengals are backed up in the corner this offseason with their defense. Not only have they had one of the worst defenses in the NFL for the last few seasons, but they\u2019re set to lose Trey Hendrickson in free agency.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Bengals, on the verge of losing Trey Hendrickson in free agency, were another latecomer to the party. By then, over a quarter of the league\u2019s 32 teams had shown some level of interest in Crosby, with a few others that he had less interest in going to throwing their hats in the ring as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
The core is in place with Joe Burrow, Ja\u2019Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins. The offensive line is back after Dalton Risner re-signed. While most of Cincinnati\u2019s moves are likely on defense, the Bengals could still use depth in the trenches, especially if Cordell Volson and Lucas Patrick do not return.<\/p>\n
