Bengals Target John Franklin-Myers for Pass Rush

0:00It's March 8th for the NFL. Let's get into it. The Cincinnati Bengals face a big knee for past rushers heading into the off-season. Start offensive in Trey Hendrickson has already departed, and Joseph O'Sy is hitting free agency. Team Insiders suggest they target John Franklin Myers, lately with the Denver Broncos, to fill the gap. Franklin Myers built a solid career, bouncing from the Rams to the Jets, and then thriving in Denver. Under their defensive coordinator, he lined up next to top tackles and delivered 14 and a half sacks over the past two seasons. His play helped Denver secure the top AFC seed. Fans and analysts see him as a perfect fit because of his versatility. He rushes from the end, but slides inside against runs or passes. Those sack numbers would have topped the Bengals last year, where Miles Murphy led with just five and a half. Career-wise, he boasts 200 tackles, 35 for loss, and 34 sacks across seven NFL years. Plus, he's rarely misgamed since 2020, proving his reliability.

1:02Projections give him a three-year deal, around 42 million dollars. With over 47 million in cap space, the Bengals have room to chase him and others on the free agent market.
