Episode Details

The Cincinnati Bengals are considering signing veteran defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, who was recently released by the Minnesota Vikings. Allen, 31, had a one-year deal with Minnesota worth $51 million. The Bengals see him as a low-risk addition to strengthen their defensive line without overspending. Allen played all 17 games last season, recording 68 tackles and 3.5 sacks. However, his performance has declined in recent years. The Bengals are looking for experienced players with potential, aiming for shorter deals to manage costs. Defensive coordinator Al Golden wants more power up front to build depth. Allens new contract is projected to be around $7.8 million, but his recent struggles could drive the price down to the veteran minimum. As free agency intensifies, the Bengals have several options to enhance their defensive line.
