CINCINNATI -- A key member of the Cincinnati Bengals' defense is returning for 2023.
Linebacker Germaine Pratt has agreed to terms on a three-year deal, he confirmed to the team's website on Monday.
"They gave me an opportunity when I got in the league, so why would I try to leave for a team that wasn't as successful for more money?" Pratt told the team's website. "I didn't feel right about that."
Pratt's return comes on the same day that Bengals safety Vonn Bell agreed to terms with the Carolina Panthers and safety Jessie Bates III agreed to a contract with the Atlanta Falcons.
