Bengals reportedly gauging the safety market; Kevin Byard makes sense after being cut by Eagles

It’s no secret that the safety position left a lot to be desired for the 2023 Cincinnati Bengals, which could lead to some firepower being added to the position this year.

The NFL Draft doesn’t appear to have any clear instant-impact safeties this year, and there may not even be one taken in Round 1. Plus, it seems unlikely the Bengals would want to add another young guy to the secondary. What they need is a veteran who’s already been through his NFL growing pains, not another young guy to spend multiple years developing.
