Bengals' Blackburn Silent, Fans Await June Update

0:00On April 5th, last week at the NFL League meetings, the Cincinnati Bengals caught some folks off guard by not having executive vice president Katie. Blackburn talked to the media. Normally, she gives the annual update on team plans and ownership decisions, but this time, head coach Zach Taylor had to handle it solo. Turns out, the Bengals and Arizona Cardinals were the only two teams without a front office rep or GM stepping up. The team says this is all part of shaking up their offseason media routine. They want Blackburn to speak later around June, once free agency, the draft, and the schedule drop have all played out. That way, she can drop more complete info on where things stand. Fans are used to hearing from her on big picture stuff, like why the owners vote certain ways and they're feeling the void right now. This comes at a tough time, with extra heat on the Bengals' offseason moves and the push to back quarterback Joe Burl strong. Sources close to the team confirm it's a broader tweak to how they handle press from the front office and owners.
