Episode Details

Cedric Johnson is poised to breakout in his third season with the Bengals, stepping into a competitive defensive end rotation after a solid rookie campaign despite injuries. A sixth-round pick in 2024, he’s earned second-team reps during OTAs and is likely in the top five at his position. On a rookie contract worth over $4 million, his 2025 salary is league minimum — making him a cost-effective, high-potential asset as the Bengals’ front seven reshapes. With two years of NFL experience and steady growth, Johnson is primed to be a key contributor as training camp begins.
