BOCA RATON, Fla. _ Refreshed from a robust free agency his team signed three core defensive players, Bengals president Mike Brown is bullish on his Bengals.
“A lot of teams, in my opinion, would take where we are to where they are,” Brown said Wednesday as the NFL’s annual owners’ meeting ended.
The Bengals wanted to re-sign wide receiver Marvin Jones and thought they did when they offered the same $40 million deal he took in Detroit. But they re-signed Pro Bowl cornerback Adam Jones, starting safety George Iloka, and handyman linebacker Vincent Rey is looking at starting the first three games as Vontaze Burfict serves an NFL suspension.
