I have a relationship with him, I trust him, I trust his system, I trust in his ability to call a good defense. So I mean, it made it easy to want to be here, play under his play calling. And then just the organization, the owners have a great history. Heard a lot of great things about the organization from former players and current players. It was a no-brainer.”<\/p>\n
Taylor-Britt was a much more dramatic story. A second-round pick who flashed No. 1 cornerback upside, he fizzled out badly last season, including getting benched before a serious injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, he\u2019s seeking redemption via reunion:\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Man, that’s my dog. That’s all I really say, man. I think that’s one of the big reasons that I’m here. Man, we had a great relationship while I was attending the Bengals when they drafted me, and it’s kind of been great ever since then. When he gave me a call and had me come up, I was very excited man. Can’t wait for this opportunity.”<\/p>\n
This offseason, Davis-Gaither was worth the raise of an eyebrow as a reunion candidate for the Bengals as they seek veteran guidance for their younger players at linebacker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taylor-Britt, on the other hand, was never a realistic re-signing candidate for the Bengals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, like Mike Hilton and Germaine Pratt before them, both guys will get a chance to recapture some of the past magic they found with Anarumo during their Cincinnati days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 27, 2026, 5:30 a.m. ET Trey Hendrickson was the popular theory when it came to former Cincinnati…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":828934,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2053],"tags":[95878,228,227,256,2296,7,6,13078,95905,108396,95882,115270,95913,95906,95883,95911,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-836588","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cincinnati-bengals","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-bengals","10":"tag-cincinnati","11":"tag-cincinnati-bengals","12":"tag-cincinnatibengals","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sstssportsnflbengals","16":"tag-sstsnbengals","17":"tag-tagakeem-davis-gaither","18":"tag-tagamerican-football","19":"tag-tagcam-taylor-britt","20":"tag-tagcincinnati-bengals","21":"tag-tagoverall-positive","22":"tag-tagsports-news","23":"tag-tagtrey-hendrickson","24":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=836588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/828934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=836588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=836588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=836588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
