Welcome to NFL News Today. Two minutes of updates that matter to NFL fans, hit subscribe and stay connected. The Cincinnati Bengals kicked off the NFL legal tampering period with some solid moves on Monday. They agreed to terms with safety, Brian Cook and defensive end Boyet Mayfay, adding two key starters to their roster. They also resigned Guard Dalton Risener before free agency and chose not to use the franchise tag on defensive end, Trey Hendrickson. Now on the second day of tampering, the Bengals still have gaps to fill on the interior defensive line, at linebacker and for offensive line depth. Teams can negotiate deals during this window, but nothing gets official until the new league gear starts. Columnus aren't pressed, giving the Bengals a B plus grade for day one. The cook signing earned an A while Maffe got a B. By NFL standards, it was solid, and for Bengals fans, it felt fantastic. Getting ahead, top defensive tackles like DJ Reader from the Lions, and Doc Juan Jones

from the Bills, top the available list. Others such as Cali Campbell and Jorneliot could be targets to shore up that interior line. Free agency officially opens Wednesday at 4pm, Eastern when the league year begins. Stay tuned for live updates as day two of tampering unfolds, and more deals get close.
