The Cincinnati Bengals are making waves in NFL free agency talks, especially for their defense. Fans and analysts are buzzing about landing star safety. Minka fits Patrick from the Miami Dolphins, eat it through a trade, or if he's released. That blockbuster move could transform their secondary in a big way. Beyond Fitzpatrick, the team needs a solid veteran partner for young safety, Jordan Battle. One name floating around is Baltimore Raven Safety, our Darius Washington, highlighted as a top value pick by some experts. Bengals fans aren't jumping for joy over another Ravens free agent though. Their last deal from Baltimore, Safety, and Geno Stone, turn into a major flop, leaving a bad taste. Washington brings real upside with his versatility across the slot, box, and deep coverage. He earned a top 10 player grade from pro football focus last season, but a torn Achilles kept him out most of the year.

We'll see how free agency shakes out this off season. This episode is supported by our sponsor, head in, sound on, lights out. That is the routine S-O-L-I solely pillow dot com.
