Dalton Risner is BACK: Bengals Solidify O-Line, Make First BIG Move of Offseason Mar 02, 2026

Show notes

The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed Dalton Risner to a one-year contract on Monday. It's a major move to solidify the offensive line and protect star quarterback Joe Burrow. James Rapien and Jake Liscow explain why they were surprised at the one year deal worth up to $5 million, why it's great to have Risner back in the fold ahead of free agency, plus what it means for Burrow and an offensive line that will have all five starters back next season.

BENGALS SQUAD SHOW: Is DUKE TOBIN really "ALL IN?" plus JOE BURROW and the TIGHT ENDS Feb 27, 2026

Show notes

Bengals director of player personnel and de facto general manager Duke Tobin said he NFL Combine this week that he's "never not been all in." So, how should Bengals fans view those comments?

Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero discuss how they feel about them and what it could mean for the Bengals and the upcoming free agency period.

One position that hasn't been talked about a lot this offseason has been tight end. Mike Gesicki has given the Bengals a good return on investment, but is there anything else the Bengals could do in free agency or the Draft to bolster the position?

Bengals MUST Rediscover Explosiveness On Offense Feb 26, 2026

Show notes

Everyone with eyes knows the Bengals have serious needs to turn around their defense in 2026, but explosiveness appears to be more key than ever to winning football games, and an offense featuring Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins hasn't been explosive for years now. Jake Liscow and James Rapien discuss how the Bengals can change that going forward, from dynamic scheme adjustments that we're talking about for the umpteenth time, to value personnel additions that could help transform the way the offense works.

The Bengals Will Try to Upgrade Roster Without "Big Swings" Feb 25, 2026

Show notes

Duke Tobin sounds a bit gun shy about a big swing this offseason, but that doesn't mean the Cincinnati Bengals won't make additions to the club. It just sounds more like business as usual - hopefully meaning more like the 2021 offseason and not the 2025 version that only saw the Bengals add TJ Slaton as a starter money external free agent. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down what that sort of approach to the offseason would require to be a success.

Plus, a few tidbits on potential #10 pick candidates Rueben Bain and Peter Woods as defensive linemen are present and accounted for in Indianapolis.

BENGALS SQUAD SHOW: SAFETY help in the form of former Cincinnati Bearcats on the way in FREE AGENCY Feb 24, 2026

Show notes

With the start of free agency less than two weeks away, help could be on the way for the Cincinnati Bengals in the form of two former Cincinnati Bearcats.

Alex Frank and Mike Santagana discuss how Kansas City Chiefs safety Bryan Cook and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Coby Bryant, who are both Super Bowl champions, could give the Bengals a major boost at both safety and cornerback.

How could Bryan Cook help Caleb Downs if the Bengals draft him at No. 10 in April?

Could Coby Bryant help the Bengals young corners keep ascending in 2026?
