Bengals Sign DT Jonathan Allen, Boost Defense

Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description

The Cincinnati Bengals have made a significant move in free agency by signing defensive tackle Jonathan Allen to a two-year contract worth $26 million, with potential incentives. This comes after their previous deal for edge rusher Boye Mafe. The team now boasts a solid defensive line with players like B.J. Hill, Kris Jenkins Junior, and T.J. Slaton Junior. Fans and analysts praise the move, giving it a B grade, as it addresses a real need while maintaining draft flexibility. Allen, who had a disappointing season with the Vikings, is expected to benefit from a new scheme under Zac Taylor. Meanwhile, the Vikings have saved cash and are looking to draft prospects or free agents to rebuild their tackle spot.
