Bengals' Bold Free Agency Moves Face Criticism

0:00It's March 18th, here's your NFL news in two minutes, subscribe to stay locked in all season.

One deal piles on extra cap space in 2026, while another stacks up poorly next to Trey Hendrickson's contract with the Ravens. Fans are fired up online, arguing these choices cost the team room for at least one more solid free agent addition this off season. The Bengals are sticking to their plan of front-loading deals now, to keep options open later, even as the criticism builds.
