Bengals News: More moves incoming for Cincinnati?

Noah Fant Joe Burrow Matt Hasselbeck

Something NFL fans who have been paying attention to the league for awhile understand is that a roster is never truly finalized. Last year we saw the Cincinnati Bengals add offensive lineman Dalton Risner and tight end Noah Fant during training camp. Both players ended up playing a fair amount of snaps. Especially, Risner who — when reinserted into the offensive line with the return of Joe Burrow from his injury — helped turn the unit into one of the best pass blocking units to finish the season. The Bengals have a glaring hole at linebacker. Even if they believe in Demetrius Knight and Barrett Carter as starters, they need some veteran depth in case of injuries. Fans will also fondly remember swapping center Billy Price for BJ Hill during this timeframe as well. We could see a defensive tackle sent off in a similar vein after the team added Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen . What move are you hoping to see the team make? Bengals still expected to make another signing in free agency Similar story at cornerback, where the Bengals don’t have a surefire starter in the slot yet. That doesn’t mean they go out and find a starter on the market, but Jalen Davis , Josh Newton and Ja’Sir Taylor will need to show the coaches that they don’t need to go add competition.

Tyler Shough is the Saints’ unquestioned starter heading into 2026. The quarterback, in only his second season, is also the team’s leader. Shough organized an outing with teammates in San Diego. He has said Drew Brees helped set up the outing, and Shough’s social media photos and video on Wednesday show the Hall of Fame quarterback. Shough’s teammates Juwan Johnson, Chris Olave, Travis Etienne, Bryce Lance, Barion Brown, Audric Estime and Noah Fant are among those in Shough’s post , per Katherine Terrell of ESPN. In his rookie season, the second-round pick went 5-4 as a starter and completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 2,384 yards with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions

2026 Offseason Recap- Grading the Saints’ major transactions

Yahoo Sports NFLJul 15, 2026, 7:00 PM+6 stories · 30dSource ↗

Travis Etienne Noah Fant Alvin Kamara

The New Orleans Saints ended 2025 with an overall record of just 6-11, finishing fourth in the NFC South division. Last season, the team had a first-year head coach, no solidified starting quarterback, injuries galore, and no identity or sense of direction. However, that was then. Now, the focus has since shifted to the future, and the organization feels that it has turned over a new leaf. With a full offseason under most of their belts, expectations for this year are through the roof, and the team’s offseason moves have fans eager for an opportunity to see the black and gold in action once more. Before training camps ramp up at the end of this month, let’s look back at how this spring’s transactions altered the roster and give those decisions an overall grade. Mickey Loomis and Kellen Moore hit the ground running when the 2026 free agency period opened. The team managed to sign players in various key areas of need such as: G David Edwards ( Buffalo Bills ), LB Kaden Elliss (Atlanta Falcons), RB Travis Etienne Jr. ( Jacksonville Jaguars ), TE Noah Fant ( Cincinnati Bengals ), and P Ryan Wright ( Minnesota Vikings ). After blocking for some of the most high-octane offenses in recent league history like the Los Angeles Rams and Bills, eighth-year veteran Edwards became a top acquisition priority for the Saints. Both Elliss and Wright’s signing in New Orleans serves as a sort of homecoming. Elliss was drafted to the league by the Saints in 2019 but left shortly after for a three-year stint in ATL with the “dirty birds.” Wright, although having no professional ties to New Orleans, played collegiately as a member of the Green Wave football team at Tulane. New Orleans’ biggest splash this offseason was bringing home Etienne Jr., a Louisiana native. After a career-low season statistically for RB Alvin Kamara , New Orleans targeted Etienne in hopes of breathing new life into a rather inefficient Saints offense. The team paired that addition with TE Noah Fant, a player New Orleans had been linked to before as a potential landing spot. Fant is a longtime NFL veteran who could take snaps when needed but also serve as a mentor and leader to a young WR and TE group. Unfortunately, not every move can be a positive when a team is in a rebuilding process. Of three big defensive names that New Orleans was in a pendulum with this offseason, only one was resigned to the team. Longtime Saints defensive end Cam Jordan agreed to a deal with the team to come back for one final season as he closes out his historic NFL career. On the flip side of the coin, top-end talents in the league, linebacker Demario Davis and cornerback Alontae Taylor , departed in free agency. It is a difficult transition for a younger team to lose a lot of leadership like the Saints have, especially on one side of the ball. The team responded with a strong draft class that included 8th-overall selection WR Jordyn Tyson and even made a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders in the mid rounds. New Orleans would wind up trading away a fifth-round pick for the Raiders’ Tyree Wilson , a former first-round pick edge rusher. In polling members and staff writers at Canal Street Chronicles, many have graded the Saints’ offseason at an average grade of B, an impressive although not perfect score. When asked what was preventing many from giving New Orleans’ transactions a grade of A, big factors included the loss of Davis from the LB core, a lack of leadership across remaining veterans on the team, and an inability to make the defense a focal point of improvement. What are your overall thoughts on the team’s offseason? What would you grade these moves? What new player are you most looking forward to seeing this season? Let us know in the comments below!

Pass catchers headline list of NFC rookies picked after Day 1 who could earn key roles

CBS Sports NFLJun 15, 2026, 7:28 PM+11 stories · 30dSource ↗

Tyler Shough Jeremiyah Love Oscar Delp

First-round picks are penciled in as starters in almost every case, but opportunities to compete are not as concrete beyond the initial round. There were 39 non-first-round picks who played at least 300 snaps in the NFC last season, according to TruMedia, including Saints quarterback Tyler Shough and Seahawks safety Nick Emmanwori . One consideration is the team's quality. Lower-quality teams will provide more opportunities for young players to compete because, in theory, their rosters should not be as talented. For example, Arizona had four players who met the criteria and that team finished 3-14. Who will those contributors be this year? After surveying depth charts and taking into account each player's strengths and weaknesses, CBSSports.com has devised a list of ten prospects who should earn roles for the upcoming season. The offensive line had been a priority for the Cardinals heading into the draft, but they could not turn down the talent of Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love at No. 3 overall. The team's need for linemen would have to wait until later in the event. Bisontis heard his name called early on Day 2, and the franchise rewarded him with the first fully guaranteed contract given to a second-round pick. He is penciled in as the starter at right guard opposite Isaac Seumalo . New Orleans has a few veterans at the tight end position -- Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant -- but Delp has a well-rounded skill set and can grow on the same timeline as quarterback Tyler Shough. Johnson had 77 receptions and nearly 900 receiving yards last season, but will turn 30-years-old as the 2026 season kicks off. It is easy to envision Delp receiving more opportunities as the season progresses. Additionally, the Saints utilized two-plus tight ends on the sixth-lowest rate (23.9%) in 2025, per TruMedia. However, Kellen Moore's Chargers and Eagles offenses the prior two years ranked in the top half of the league in usage rate. New Orleans did draft a few wide receivers, so the team's tight end usage may not skyrocket to the top of the league, but one might wager it will move closer to the mean (33.2%). Admittedly, I was not as high on Fields as the consensus, but there are a few factors working in his favor to see the field early. First, Malik Nabers is expected to be ready for Week 1, but is returning from a serious injury, and Wan'Dale Robinson is no longer on this roster. The organization bolstered the room with veterans like Darnell Mooney , Calvin Austin and Odell Beckham Jr . Second, Fields' strengths complement the roster and offensive system. He is a bigger body that can win at the catch point down the field, but is also willing to engage and seal as a blocker in space; a vital assignment in a physical Harbaugh system. Minnesota had a hole at the off-ball linebacker position and Golday is a big, fast and aggressive prospect for Brian Flores' defense. A Flores defense is going to be able to attack from all angles and one of Golday's most endearing qualities is his ability to rush the passer. In 2025, he had a 25.4% pressure rate on 71 pass rush snaps, according to TruMedia. Washington has three edge rushers on the roster with a combined 20 years of experience. Dorance Armstrong has become a physical run defender. Odafe Oweh and K'Lavon Chaisson have shown growth in that regard over the course of their own careers after being profiled as twitchier players in the draft. The latter two finished among the top-35 in pressure rate among players with at least 200 pass rush snaps in 2025, per TruMedia. Josephs is not going to begin his career as an every-down player, but his presence can be felt on passing downs. Last season, he produced pressure on 18.9% of pass rush snaps, according to TruMedia. As Washington deploys its NASCAR package (the personnel it feels can pressure the quarterback quickest), Josephs is likely to have a spot on that unit to help the defense get off the field. The Packers needed help along the defensiv [... truncated ...]

The Carolina Panthers face a challenging third quarter of their schedule, starting with division rivals and strong opponents.
