The NFL Draft is over, and the Cincinnati Bengals have added two offensive linemen, two linebackers, a running back, and an edge rusher to their roster. However, one position they didn’t address in the draft or in free agency so far is safety.
The position has been a mess since the team lost Jessie Bates III and Vonn Bell 1.0 after the 2022 season. They were replaced by Dax Hill and Nick Scott, and that combo didn’t work out at all. On the bright side, Jordan Battle emerged, but Hill was moved to the corner, and Scott was cut.
