Zac Taylor Says Larry Ogunjobi ‘Is A Bengal For Life’, Yet Is A Free Agent After Team Re-Signed B.J. Hill Instead

The Cincinnati Bengals looked to bolster their interior defensive line last year when they signed Larry Ogunjobi to a one-year free-agent contract. But when they added B.J. Hill and he performed well for them during the season, the Bengals chose to re-sign Hill, who is now scheduled to start next to D.J. Reader.

Ogunjobi, who suffered a foot injury during the postseason, originally agreed to terms with the Chicago Bears this offseason on a free-agent contract, but the deal was voided after he failed his physical. That means he’s still on the open market—yet the Bengals are only talking about him in the past tense, even when asked about possibly re-signing him.
