Episode Details

The Cincinnati Bengals kick off the 2026 season with strategic signings, bolstering their defense with safety Bryan Cook and defensive end Boye Mafe. While these moves address immediate needs, the team acknowledges the defenses long-term struggles. Cooks arrival strengthens the safety position, while Mafe provides Myles Murphy with much-needed support. However, the defense still lacks linebackers, tackles, and potentially another edge rusher. The Bengals plan to continue building their defense with more veteran signings before the draft.
