Newly signed Bengals DT is a huge asset to defeating ultimate AFC enemies

The Cincinnati Bengals may not have signed sudden free-agent safety Jabrill Peppers, but they made a more low-key, potentially high-impact acquisition on Labor Day nonetheless.

Defensive tackle continues to be a position of uncertainty. Whether it's a big need is up for debate. It all hinges on whether NFL sophomores Kris Jenkins Jr. or McKinnley Jackson can make meaningful strides in 2025. Plus, new open market addition TJ Slaton needs to prove his chops as a legit run defender.

But having more bodies in the Bengals defensive tackle group doesn't hurt — never mind someone who has twice experienced the glory of a Super Bowl victory.
