Back to EpisodesBengals' Defensive Splash: Cook & Mafe Signings
Description
The Cincinnati Bengals made significant defensive moves in free agency, signing safety Bryan Cook and edge rusher Boye Mafe to three-year deals. Cook, a former University of Cincinnati standout, is known for his top tackling skills and elite grades against the pass and run. Mafe, despite modest sack numbers, excels in pressuring quarterbacks. Both players bring Super Bowl championship experience and should bolster a Bengals defense that struggled with missed tackles last season. These additions signal a serious rebuild on defense, with Mafe potentially filling a key gap left by Trey Hendrickson. The draft pick at number ten now offers flexibility, and these smart splashes set the Bengals up strong for a tougher unit next year.
