The Cincinnati Bengals have a lot of work to do on their defense. While a veteran linebacker is a big need, and the team needs to add some key players along the defensive line, the secondary is a big issue that cannot go unaddressed.

The Cincinnati Bengals signed safety Bryan Cook on Monday, but that shouldn't prevent them from drafting Ohio State safety Caleb Downs with the No. 10 pick to give them some much needed depth and versatility in the secondary.

The Bengals agreed to terms with two starters in safety Bryan Cook and defensive end Boye Mafe. Follow along to see what other moves they make.

The Cincinnati Bengals made a major move early in NFL free agency, signing a defensive starter away from an AFC rival.

Four-year veteran linebacker Nakobe Dean signed a new contract with the Las Vegas Raiders. Dean, a former third-round pick, spent the entirety of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Despite the setbacks, the Chiefs have been aggressive in reshaping their roster. Kansas City has already made several notable additions as it looks to bounce back in 2026, including a high-profile signing of reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker on Monday.
