Arkansas Bengal

Bills 21 stealers 0 bwaahahahaha!!!! stealers suck!

Bills got screwed on that call.

Seems hard to believe that the Bengals are that short staffed. What was the source of these stats? When I google it, it shows the Bengals have 12 and while still below many of the other teams, the discrepancy is not as large: All NFL Front Office Player Personnel Staff Search: Team Position Name Arizona Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim Arizona Cardinals VP of Player Personnel Terry McDonough Arizona Cardinals Director of Pro Scouting Quentin Harris Arizona Cardinals Asst.

Greg Wilson Sun, Jan 14, 2024, 7:44 PM CST·1 min read Cincinnati Bengals‘ head coach Zac Taylor has had a winning record in three straight seasons, but in a conversation with Bengals.com reporter Geoff Hobson, he said he thinks going through this season made him a better coach and playcaller. “You learn through these experiences you’re in,” Taylor said, via Hobson. “Every year is a little unique and we certainly faced some adversity like all teams do, and I certainly feel that I’ll be an improved head coach going forward and I’m excited to help the team improve as well.” The Bengals faced adversity when starting quarterback Joe Burrow was dealing with an injury early in the season and started 1-3, but even more so when he was knocked out for the rest of the year and needed surgery. Jake Browning took over, and he and Taylor led Cincinnati to a winning record in the best division in the NFL, playing a first-place schedule. Taylor said it was tough for him to say whether this season was the best he has done as a coach, but he did say that the experiences and the things he learned will help him as a coach in the future. “I certainly feel like we played a lot of really good teams this year that posed those challenges and you had to make sure you communicated really well as a staff to put our team in a good position and have a chance to win the game,” he said. “I know that we worked really hard at it, and we always put our best plan forward. And I think there are a lot of things that we can take to really help our offense next year.” https://sports.yahoo.com/zac-taylor-thinks-season-made-014432998.html

Chris Roling January 11, 2024 9:52 am ET The Cincinnati Bengals enter a key offseason with a huge list of players scheduled to become free agents. Fans know the big names possibly headed to the market, headlined by Tee Higgins, DJ Reader and a few others. How the Bengals navigate this upcoming free agent class will heavily influence how the team pursues outside free agents and the overall draft strategy — directly impacting the team’s current contention window. So here’s a look at the upcoming list of Bengals free agents, ranked by level of importance to the team’s long-term success and the order the front office should probably prioritize them this spring. 20.

Bengals’ Zac Taylor climbing longest-tenured head coaches list Chris Roling Sat, Jan 13, 2024 at 2:16 PM CST·1 min read 2 Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor is starting to climb a pretty interesting list. With the farewells of Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll and even Mike Vrabel this week as a new hiring cycle starts, Taylor took a pretty dramatic leap up the longest-tenured head coaches list. As NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero pointed out, the following names are the three longest-tenured coaches in the NFL now: 1. Mike Tomlin (17 seasons) 2. John Harbaugh (16 seasons) 3. Andy Reid (11 seasons) Taylor is already in the top 10 now, tied for seventh place with five seasons as head coach already. Granted, that’s not even close to the 16 years of Marvin Lewis by any means, but one has to wonder just how far up the list Taylor can climb after the success of the rebuild and Super Bowl berth, plus a near-miss on another already. Also of note? The top two spots belong to AFC North coaches, which plays a big part in the division being one of the strongest ever this year. sports.yahoo.com

This Myles Murphy stat should have Bengals fans hyped Chris Roling Sat, Jan 13, 2024 at 2:18 PM CST·1 min read Cincinnati Bengals rookie defensive end Myles Murphy had a slow start to his debut year. Steadily, though, he worked his way into more action and wound up playing 305 snaps over 17 games. As the Bengals pointed out on social media, NFL Next Gen Stats charted Murphy with the second-highest rookie pressure rate of any player this year. It’s a really encouraging sign for the first-round pick as his list of responsibilities grew as the season progressed. The pass-rush was still a sour point overall for the defense, but there are plenty of small tidbits like this that suggest Murphy will fully morph into the every-down player across multiple spots the team envisioned him as when they made him an early pick.

Fuck Cleveland.

Mike Bass Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK Fri, Jan 12, 2024, 7:57 PM CST·7 min read We dreamed of the 2023 Bengals finishing with a victory. Next time, we need to be more specific. Instead of leaving the Super Bowl with the Lombardi Trophy, the Bengals exited the regular season with a consolation prize: A win over the Cleveland Backups. It felt OK but anticlimactic, almost like a gimme. This was the 2021 regular-season finale, in reverse. That time, the Bengals fell to 10-7. It felt more like 10-6 with an asterisk. It was a rest stop before a Super Bowl run. This time, it meant the Bengals would finish 9-8 and every team in the historic division would be above .500. It kind of feels like 8-8 with an asterisk. It depends on how you look at it. We keep trying to get a handle on this season. Give it time. This season challenged us in real time. It excited us, taunted us, lifted us, teased us, rejuvenated us, disappointed us, confused us and tested us. “It was,” Joe Burrow told the media, “a weird year.” Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow speaks to the media during a press conference on the first day of the off season for the Bengals at Paycor Stadium on Monday January 8, 2024 For us, too. It is always tough when the dream ends. We grieve. We are sad. We are frustrated. We mentally replay what happened and what could have happened. It started when Kansas City excised the Bengals from the playoff race on New Year’s Eve and continued this week. “Once Burrow got hurt, my brain went into What If mode,” @RyanFilmLover posted after the Chiefs loss. “This one will stay with me for a long time.” OK, it started when Burrow went down for the season. “The writing (has) been on the wall since day 2 of training camp. 🤷,” @IrelandsWhodey wrote. OK, it started when Burrow first hurt his calf and limited him as the Bengals opened 1-3. “Imma keep it a buck (real),” @CoachKamC wrote. “We did not achieve the goal regardless of injuries. This was a SB or bust year and we busted. It happens but this (is) the truth.” OK, Burrow’s injuries should not have mattered. “They actually exceeded my expectations after losing Burrow,” @Smoothbludaddy posted. “I can't complain. Looking forward to next season.” OK, losing Burrow did matter. “We made it further than expected without Joe and we have a great backup for the future,” @WhoDeyMal posted. “Let’s hope Joe comes in healthy and ready to play.” Which means the Bengals were either underachievers or overachievers, and we heard both opinions in our X (ex-Twitter) exchanges the last two weeks. Maybe both are right. Again, it depends on how you look at the Bengals. And it depends on if you adjusted your expectations. Bengals season was a rollercoaster The 2023 season begged for constant reevaluation. Did yours change at 1-3 with Burrow playing hurt? At 5-3 behind the Burrow and Bengals you expected? At 5-4 when Burrow went out with the lead against Baltimore? At 5-6 after losing to Pittsburgh? At 8-6 behind the surprising Jake Browning? At 8-8 after losing to the Stealers and Chiefs? You decided how to process it all. It was not easy. Did you accept the 2023 Bengals as they were, even if they were not the 2021 or 2022 Bengals? The losses still hurt. The elimination against the Chiefs was tough. The Bengals’ weaknesses were amplified. So were the strengths. The highs Burrow and Browning provided were real, for different reasons. Both mattered. But Super Bowl contention was inevitably going to revolve around Burrow’s health. We choose how to interpret the rest. Elimination from the playoff race in Week 17 can be a sign of accomplishment instead of failure. “(Once) Joe got hurt,” @EspressoJose posted, “I'm shocked it took that long.” This team was constructed around Burrow. Which is why every preseason focuses on his recovery from ... something. The knee in 2021. The appendix in 2022. The calf in 2023. The wrist in 2024. In a Bengals’ edition of Operation, Burrow would replace Cavity Sam. The NFL is a quarterback-driven league. Outside of Pittsburgh and Cleveland, every playoff team features a regular quarterback who stayed relatively healthy. “If someone said before the season Browning would go 3-3 in any stretch after what was seen of him in preseasons, I'd gladly take this,” @BengalsMike posted after the K.C. loss. “And knowing the Defense isn't a Cleveland and Pittsburgh to lean on ... regardless of who starts at QB, I'd take what I can get.” The Browns were a defensive force, and Joe Flacco became a revelation. The Stealers got a late bump with Mason Rudolph – and a second win over the Bengals. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning (6) is sacked by Pittsburgh Stealers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward (97) in the fourth quarter of the NFL 16 game between the Pittsburgh Stealers and the Cincinnati Bengals at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on Saturday, Dec. 23, 2023. The Stealers won 34-11.More “Lost season,” @WilySnowPena posted Monday. “Joe, Tee (Higgins), (Ja’Marr) Chase, DJ (Reader) all injured for significant stretches. Handled by Pittsburgh twice. ... I cannot accept that, regardless who the QB is. ... They fought til the end, though, which speaks about the culture. Need to get nastier next year.” It depends on your definition of a “lost season.” Underachievers and overachievers? Maybe the 2023 Bengals were underachievers AND overachievers. Maybe you see it as situational. Overall, it depends on how you look at it. “Thought the Bengals were playing with house money with Jake,” @gameonjmoney posted after the K.C. loss. “There’s some positives and negatives to take away from this season. The good news: the Bengals have (a lot) in cap space (to) rebuild it and come back with VENGEANCE. Stay tuned ⏳.” “I love it,” @gwilly1158 replied, “game on!! This stings because we have to wait for our next opportunity. I challenge Bengals fans to watch the entire playoff run with great detail. See where teams are strong where we are deficient. Whether it’s schematic or talent level we MUST upgrade those areas.” Time will bring perspective. Distance will bring context. You might feel better about the season. You might focus on how Browning turned temporary folk hero, gave the season meaning again and almost helped pull off the improbable. The playoffs will go on. So will you. “I’m not feeling much,” @bjh1776 posted Monday. “I’m probably pulling for Buffalo and Detroit in the playoffs.” “Go snowboarding, actually attend my nephew's birthday party for the first time in 2 years, and casually pull for the Texans,” @thewhobae posted. “*Lions,” @dockerz77 replied. “Root for the Browns,” @StevenCrowtown posted. “I know, *gasp*, and all that. I'm not gonna be as disappointed if they lose though. After that I'm probably done with football for the year.” “I can root for the Browns— they’ve been down a long time— but not in my heart to root for the Stealers or Ravens,” @brandonmariemil posted. “Just can’t.” “Watch, enjoy, root for good games…. And against Pitt, Cle and Baltimore,” @ImNostraThomas posted. Detroit, Cleveland and Houston have never been to a Super Bowl. Buffalo still is trying to get over losing four straight in the early 1990s. The Bengals made it there a couple of years ago and just missed last season. “Next year the super bowl is in New Orleans where Joe Burrow has never lost,” @DrunkBengalsfan posted. “Destiny year!” “@PorkChop1972 replied. This season could be a blip. A last-place schedule should be easier to navigate. Burrow will be back. Better complementary pieces can be found or will develop. “I'm feeling sad that it's over,” @thewhobae posted, “but staying optimistic about next year. 🧡” Then again ... “Also not looking forward to the offseason decisions Bengals need to make,” @bjh1776 posted. “Will they sign Chase or wait another year like Minnesota with Jefferson? Are Higgins, Boyd, Reader, Mixon gone? Probably.” Maybe you need a break. Good luck with that. “No offseason for team and fans,” @bengaljims_BTR posted. Just a longer wait for the next season – and more time to craft your story about this one. https://sports.yahoo.com/bass-did-bengals-underachieve-overachieve-015704413.html

Kevin S. Aldridge, Cincinnati Enquirer Wed, January 10, 2024 at 4:49 PM CST·2 min read Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow wears a brace as he speaks to the media about his season ending wrist injury at Paycor Stadium Friday, November 17, 2023. Like probably everybody else in the sports world, I resolved that my beloved Cincinnati Bengals' year had gone kaput when quarterback Joe Burrow went down with a season-ending wrist injury. Being a diehard Bengals fan, I still planned to watch every game, but my expectations – particularly dreams of winning a Super Bowl − were tempered for sure. Enter: Jake Browning. I knew very little about Browning beyond his performance during the preseason, which honestly didn't impress me much. In fact, you could've counted me among the Bengals contingent who thought the team needed to go out in search of a better backup quarterback at the start of the season, especially if Burrow was going to miss games with a strained calf. Boy was I wrong. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning (6) walks for the locker room after the fourth quarter of the NFL Week 17 game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Sunday, Dec. 31, 2023. The Chiefs won 25-17 to clinch the AFC West Championship.More The Bengals evidently knew they had something in Browning, who threw a record-setting 91 touchdown passes in high school in 2014 (229 in three seasons) and was a college standout with the Washington Huskies. He exceeded the expectations of perhaps everyone but himself, becoming one of the most captivating feel-good stories of the NFL's second half. Not to mention, he most likely earned himself some extra ching-a-ling somewhere down the road. The Bengals didn't make the playoffs behind Browning, but he proved himself a winner (4-3 as a starter) and a starting-caliber NFL quarterback nonetheless. Certainly, Browning didn't do it alone. He was surrounded by some of the best offensive talent in the league and good coaches. Still, capable backups who can step in and win at the hardest position in the game of football aren't easy to come by. That's why Cincinnati's lucky to have Browning for however long that may be. I'm bummed that I won't be watching my favorite team in the playoffs this weekend, competing for a Super Bowl. But I want to thank Jake Browning for making those remaining Bengals' games exciting and fun to watch and giving me a glimmer of hope until the end. https://news.yahoo.com/thanks-jake-browning-making-bengals-224931929.html

Greg Wilson Wed, Jan 10, 2024, 9:00 PM CST·2 min read 1 Last offseason when the Cincinnati Bengals signed Orlando Brown Jr., left tackle Jonah Williams was moved to right tackle while trade rumors swirled. Before the season when he was told he would have to change positions, he asked for a trade. Throughout the 2023-24 season, Williams played every single snap at right tackle and did so well. Now at the end of the season, he will be a free agent. Williams was head coach Zac Taylor’s first draft pick in 2019, and he said he appreciates that he’s one of the people Taylor wanted to start building a team around a year before they took Joe Burrow in the 2020 draft. He didn’t say whether he wants to be back with the Bengals yet since he was asked right after the win over the Browns and he hadn’t had time to think about it, but he did say he gave it his all over the past five seasons. “They gave me the chance to do this and I gave them everything I had,” Williams said. “All I could do is be the best right tackle I could be. That’s what I was doing at left. I’ve proven I can play both. What I end up doing in the future is kind of unknown right now.” Williams has played left tackle for most of his career, but since Brown is under contract for three more years, if he re-signs with Cincinnati, he will likely have to be on the right side of the line moving forward. There’s also the fact that left tackles normally make more money than right tackles since almost all quarterbacks are right-handed, and they protect the blind side. That will certainly be a consideration for Williams as he heads into free agency. He has made himself a sought-after target in free agency, so there will be other teams going after him. But right now, all Williams is concerned about is being able to spend time with his daughter during the offseason, and he is thankful for his time in Cincinnati. “I gave my all,” Williams said. “I don’t know what the future holds, but I’m proud of what we built here and appreciative of the opportunity.” https://sports.yahoo.com/jonah-williams-headed-free-agency-030056096.html

Chris Roling January 10, 2024 3:55 pm ET Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase sure knows how to keep the rivalry with the Kansas City Chiefs alive and well. Chase’s recent spat with the Chiefs near the end of the season made big waves, of course. But now that it’s the offseason for the Bengals, Chase made an appearance in the media and had to field a question about this year’s Super Bowl. During an interview with “SportsCenter” on Wednesday, Chase had a simple answer to who he would like to see hoist a Lombardi Trophy this year: “Anybody but the Chiefs.” Not much needs said on this topic at this point, right? Here’s the clip, courtesy of Fox 19’s Jeremy Rauch: https://bengalswire.usatoday.com/2024/01/10/bengals-jamarr-chase-super-bowl-anybody-but-the-chiefs/

Updated Jan. 8, 2024 5:30 p.m. ET SHARE FACEBOOKXREDDITLINK Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — After Joe Burrow was lost for the season with a wrist injury in November, coach Zac Taylor insisted the Bengals had been built to win even without their franchise quarterback. Well, yes and no. Backup Jake Browning exceeded expectations by winning three of his first four starts, helping Cincinnati get into the heat of the playoff race the week before Christmas. But then Browning threw three interceptions at Pittsburgh, and the Stealers — behind third-string quarterback Mason Rudolph — shredded Cincinnati 34-11. The chaos of the AFC playoff race gave the Bengals another chance to stay in it by beating Kansas City. The Chiefs relied on six field goals to win 25-17. Browning, a former practice squad quarterback, showed he can play in the NFL, but the Bengals had too many other weaknesses to win consistently without the creative Burrow there to rescue his team from dire situations. The Bengals had trouble running the ball. Receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins played through injuries. The defense struggled to stop the run. Communication problems among young defensive backs led to receivers running open. Cincinnati (9-8) was 1-5 against AFC North opponents, finally beating Cleveland in the season finale with the Browns resting most their starters for the playoffs. The Bengals missed the postseason for the first time in three years. The previous two seasons, they reached the Super Bowl and the AFC championship game. “Their character cannot be questioned. What they went through and what they gave us this year, I’m so proud of them for continuing to stay together,” Taylor said. “You never saw anyone point fingers." In the early games of 2023, Burrow's mobility was affected by a calf injury. With Burrow improving, the Bengals finally started to surge, winning four of five before playing at Baltimore on Nov. 16. Burrow tore a ligament in his right wrist in the first half against the Ravens, ending his season. “Going in Baltimore, I felt really good about where we were,” Burrow said Monday. “Obviously, it didn't play out the way we wanted it to. It was a weird year. Never felt like we really reached our potential to what we were. And then obviously, the injury happened right where we usually start to take that jump in the year, where we had in years past, so it was a tough year.” BURROW TIMELINE Burrow, who had surgery to repair the torn ligament, said it will be a couple months before he can start throwing again. "I think I should be good by OTAs (in May and June)," he said. “We’ll see, (it's) pretty early.” DECISIONS, DECISIONS Burrow signed a five-year, $275 million contract extension before the season. Chase, one of the best wideouts in the league, is eligible for an extension, and the Bengals want to lock him down, too. That leaves the team with decisions to make about its other unrestricted free agents. Topping that list are receivers Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd, nose tackle D.J. Reader, cornerback Chidobe Awuzie and tackle Jonah Williams. Browning is also a free agent and likely will be looking for more money from the Bengals or another team. “I think that I’ve established that I’m capable of being a starter in the NFL,” the 27-year-old Browning said. “Obviously, a weird situation where I feel like I’m one of the top 32 quarterbacks in the world, and I just so happen to be on a roster with a guy who’s proven that he’s a top five quarterback in the world. So, what that looks like going forward, I have no idea.” MIXON'S FUTURE Veteran running back Joe Mixon restructured his contract with a pay cut to stay with the Bengals in 2023. With fleet rookie Chase Brown flashing talent that should earn him more playing time in the future, Cincinnati will have to decide whether to keep the 27-year-old Mixon. He rushed for over 1,000 yards for the fourth time in his career, but his only 100-yard game came Sunday against Cleveland's backups. The Bengals' run game was the second worst in the NFL. https://www.foxsports.com/articles/nfl/bengals-get-to-brink-of-playoffs-without-burrow-but-now-face-decisions-on-many-free-agents

Chris Roling Tue, Jan 9, 2024, 7:26 PM CST·1 min read 2 The Cincinnati Bengals enter a critical offseason with plenty of cap space to work on the roster. After landing at 9-8 in one of the toughest divisions ever and making a first wave of offseason moves, the Bengals have roughly $60 million in free cap space entering the offseason, per the numbers at Spotrac. That’s good for the sixth-highest mark in the NFL right now, with the top spot sitting on $85 million (Washington). Of course, the catch when looking at this number is that the Bengals have a massive list of free agents, including names like Tee Higgins, DJ Reader, Jonah Williams and Tyler Boyd, to name a few. On top of that, the Bengals will need to pay up on another draft class, and outside free agents and potential extensions for now-eligible guys like Ja’Marr Chase. For now, though, the Bengals appear to have plenty of flexibility before making any other moves that might free up even more cap space. https://sports.yahoo.com/bengals-cap-space-season-ends-012658910.html

By Myles Simmons Published January 9, 2024 12:11 PM Joe Burrow’s 2023 season was marred by injury. He first suffered through a calf issue that sidelined him for training camp and clearly impacted the first few weeks of the year. Then in November, he sustained a torn ligament in his wrist that took him out for the rest of the year. In a Monday press conference, Burrow said his wrist is getting better every day, though he’s not exactly sure when he’ll be able to begin throwing again. “We’ll have to see,” Burrow said. “I think I should be good by OTAs. But, we’ll see. Pretty early on to really tell yet.” While Burrow’s throwing will come in time, he said he feels good about where he’ll be physically based on what he can do in the weight room now. He likely won’t be able to lift anything with his injured wrist or grip a football until “a couple months from now.” “Lifting, legs, doing a lot of core, doing the upper body where we can — tough without being able to grab or do anything like that,” Burrow said. “But we’re modifying in ways that keeps me in good physical shape and just going to keep getting better as the wrist gets better, too.” Burrow finished his 2023 season having completed 66.8 percent of his passes for 2,309 yards with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. He said watching the last month and a half of the season was tough after being used to playing and making a difference. “You try to find ways to make a difference where you could, but obviously, it’s not the same,” Burrow said. “So, I was just focused on getting myself better every day and doing what I could for Jake ... giving him nuggets here and there. But, he’s a smart guy, he didn’t need too much.” https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/joe-burrow-i-think-i-should-be-good-by-otas-but-well-see

Updated: 4:40 PM EST Jan 8, 2024 Infinite Scroll Enabled Matthew Dietz CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals announced a series of roster moves on the first day of the offseason, signing nine players to reserve/future contracts. Players who are signed to a reserve/future contract will not count against the team's 53-man roster, but will count on the 90-man roster beginning on Feb. 12, the Monday after the Super Bowl. Below are the nine players signed on Monday by the Bengals: DT Domenique Davis CB Allan George C Nate Gilliam DE Jeff Gunter LB Shaka Heyward WR Shedrick Jackson G Jaxson Kirkland WR Kwamie Lassiter II WR Kendric Pryor Eight of the players finished the season on the Bengals' Practice Squad, while one, Kirkland, finished on the Practice Squad/Injured list. Of the above players, only two suited up for a game this season for the Bengals, Jackson and Lassiter. The former Auburn Tiger Jackson appeared in five games during the 2023 season for Cincinnati and was targeted once. As for Lassiter, the former Kansas Jayhawk hauled in his only target of the season for a two-yard reception. This year marks the first time since the 2020 season that the Bengals aren't playoff bound, meaning they'll slide up the NFL Draft board this year. For the 2024 draft, the Bengals will have the No. 18 overall pick. The 2024 NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Michigan, this year from April 25-27. https://www.wlwt.com/article/cincinnati-bengals-reserve-future-contracts/46319105

Broncos waste no time replacing Russell Wilson with one of four QBs taken in Round 1 Five wide receivers are taken in Round 1 as part of a strong class at the position By Josh Edwards Jan 7, 2024 at 11:47 am ET•1 min read The NFL is entering the final week of its regular season. The majority of teams will know where they are picking after this weekend's games. Monday's College Football Playoff title game could also play a part in where Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy and Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr., among others, could be drafted as well. In today's thought exercise, we explore the ever-changing draft order and how quarterback-needy teams may need to make a trade if they want to position themselves to add one of a handful worthy of first-round consideration. The draft order below was determined using Tankathon ahead of Week 18 games, which uses records and strength of schedule as a tiebreaker. Without further ado, let's kick this off! NFL MOCK DRAFT Round 1 From Carolina Panthers Round 1 - Pick 1 Marvin Harrison Jr. WR OHIO STATE • JR • 6'4" / 205 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Chicago PROSPECT RNK 1st POSITION RNK 1st If Chicago is not taking a quarterback, then they would trade the pick in reality, but we are waiting until the draft order is set post-regular season before doing trades. Justin Fields is making their choice very difficult so this is more acknowledgement that there is a chance they do not take a quarterback. Round 1 - Pick 2 Caleb Williams QB USC • JR • 6'1" / 215 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Washington PROSPECT RNK 2nd POSITION RNK 1st Washington would have been in a position to take a quarterback regardless but Chicago's decision to stick with Justin Fields opens them up to their choice of the litter. Caleb Williams is a D.C. native and is brought home to lead the franchise. Round 1 - Pick 3 Drake Maye QB NORTH CAROLINA • SOPH • 6'4" / 230 LBS PROJECTED TEAM New England PROSPECT RNK 6th POSITION RNK 2nd Chicago's decision to keep Justin Fields is New England's gain as they are now able to take a quarterback and replace Mac Jones. Drake Maye's decision-making needs to improve but he has significant athletic potential. Round 1 - Pick 4 Olumuyiwa Fashanu OT PENN STATE • JR • 6'6" / 317 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Arizona PROSPECT RNK 3rd POSITION RNK 1st Arizona's offensive line has not been good this season. If they are going to keep Kyler Murray, then upgrading his protection should be a point of emphasis. Moving on from D.J. Humphries next league year would save the franchise $9 million. Round 1 - Pick 5 Malik Nabers WR LSU • JR • 6'0" / 200 LBS PROJECTED TEAM N.Y. Giants PROSPECT RNK 11th POSITION RNK 2nd Malik Nabers has No. 1 wide receiver ability. They may have to run it back with Daniel Jones but at least the team is making progress with a wide receiver room of Jalin Hyatt, Wan'Dale Robinson and Nabers. Round 1 - Pick 6 Brock Bowers TE GEORGIA • JR • 6'4" / 240 LBS PROJECTED TEAM L.A. Chargers PROSPECT RNK 4th POSITION RNK 1st It will be an interesting offseason for Los Angeles as they embrace a new change in leadership. The Chargers have gone all in over the past few years making significant investments, but those did not pay off. Do they tear it down entirely? The selection of Brock Bowers is a good start to renovating. Round 1 - Pick 7 Joe Alt OT NOTRE DAME • JR • 6'7" / 322 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Tennessee PROSPECT RNK 5th POSITION RNK 2nd Tennessee receives a late Christmas gift as Joe Alt tumbles a bit to No. 7 overall. Will Levis' protection was putrid this season and the consecutive first-round selections of Peter Skoronski and Alt change that outlook for the better. Round 1 - Pick 8 JC Latham OT ALABAMA • JR • 6'6" / 360 LBS PROJECTED TEAM N.Y. Jets PROSPECT RNK 7th POSITION RNK 3rd New York may need to replace both starting offensive tackles. J.C. Latham and the entire Alabama offensive line struggled against Michigan's pass rush plan but there is still a lot to like about the massive right tackle. Round 1 - Pick 9 Jayden Daniels QB LSU • SR • 6'4" / 210 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Atlanta PROSPECT RNK 14th POSITION RNK 3rd The Desmond Ridder experiment comes to an end as Atlanta makes a big move in the first round landing LSU dual-threat quarterback Jayden Daniels. Round 1 - Pick 10 Dallas Turner EDGE ALABAMA • JR • 6'4" / 252 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Chicago PROSPECT RNK 10th POSITION RNK 3rd Montez Sweat was a worthwhile investment for Chicago but they supercharge their pass rush with the addition of Dallas Turner. Round 1 - Pick 11 Nate Wiggins CB CLEMSON • JR • 6'2" / 185 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Las Vegas PROSPECT RNK 16th POSITION RNK 2nd Jack Jones has been a good find in a short period of time. Nate Wiggins upgrades the potential of that group but the team may be afraid to go back to the Clemson well. Round 1 - Pick 12 Laiatu Latu EDGE UCLA • SR • 6'5" / 265 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Minnesota PROSPECT RNK 8th POSITION RNK 1st Marcus Davenport and Danielle Hunter are both free agents at season's end. If Minnesota does not retain both, then they may need Laiatu Latu to provide some immediate pass-rush production. Round 1 - Pick 13 Rome Odunze WR WASHINGTON • JR • 6'3" / 215 LBS PROJECTED TEAM New Orleans PROSPECT RNK POSITION RNK New Orleans realistically can not do anything with Derek Carr this offseason because of his contract. They can give him and whichever quarterback ends up taking over another weapon though. Round 1 - Pick 14 Michael Penix Jr. QB WASHINGTON • SR • 6'3" / 213 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Denver PROSPECT RNK 56th POSITION RNK 8th In the wake of the Russell Wilson news, it is rather clear that Denver will be pursuing other options at quarterback. Michael Penix Jr. is a leader who can come in and provide some hope. Round 1 - Pick 15 Jer'Zhan Newton DL ILLINOIS • JR • 6'2" / 295 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Seattle PROSPECT RNK 28th POSITION RNK 1st Seattle has thrown a lot of resources at the defensive line over the past two years and that trend continues with the high motor Jer'Zhan Newton in the middle of the first round. Round 1 - Pick 16 Amarius Mims OT GEORGIA • JR • 6'7" / 340 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Cincinnati PROSPECT RNK 13th POSITION RNK 4th Jonah Williams is scheduled to hit free agency after the season. His play has not exactly warranted jumping into a bidding war. Cincinnati would be upgrading at right tackle. From Houston Texans Round 1 - Pick 17 Kool-Aid McKinstry CB ALABAMA • JR • 6'1" / 195 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Arizona PROSPECT RNK 12th POSITION RNK 1st Cornerback is the path to least resistance to a starting job in Arizona. Jonathan Gannon's team overcame expectations this season but needs players like Kool-Aid McKinstry to take it to the next level. Round 1 - Pick 18 Taliese Fuaga OT OREGON STATE • JR • 6'6" / 334 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Pittsburgh PROSPECT RNK 18th POSITION RNK 5th Pittsburgh picks an offensive tackle for the second consecutive year as Taliese Fuaga slots into the right side and Broderick Jones flips to the left side. Round 1 - Pick 19 Terrion Arnold CB ALABAMA • SOPH • 6'0" / 196 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Green Bay PROSPECT RNK 66th POSITION RNK 11th The situation with Jaire Alexander last week was a bit confusing and would cast some doubt on his future with the organization if not for his contract. Terrion Arnold gives the Packers some depth. Round 1 - Pick 20 Cooper DeJean CB IOWA • JR • 6'1" / 207 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Tampa Bay PROSPECT RNK 19th POSITION RNK 4th Cooper DeJean offers versatility in the secondary as well as return ability. Tampa Bay is in a good position to compete within a weak NFC South for years to come but they need to infuse more young talent on the roster. Round 1 - Pick 21 Jared Verse EDGE FLORIDA STATE • JR • 6'4" / 260 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Indianapolis PROSPECT RNK 9th POSITION RNK 2nd Indianapolis is building out its pass rush with the addition of Jared Verse. Kwity Paye, Dayo Odeyingbo and Verse give them a lot of power to rush the passer. Round 1 - Pick 22 Keon Coleman WR FLORIDA STATE • JR • 6'4" / 215 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Jacksonville PROSPECT RNK 15th POSITION RNK 3rd Jacksonville is rebuilding its wide receiver room with Keon Coleman and Calvin Ridley. Trevor Lawrence has to find another gear next season but there will be no shortage in skill talent allowing him to do so. Round 1 - Pick 23 Denzel Burke CB OHIO STATE • JR • 6'1" / 190 LBS PROJECTED TEAM L.A. Rams PROSPECT RNK 31st POSITION RNK 6th Los Angeles has done a good job of identifying good young talent to rebuild their defense. Denzel Burke offers a higher ceiling at the position. Round 1 - Pick 24 Chop Robinson EDGE PENN STATE • JR • 6'3" / 254 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Buffalo PROSPECT RNK 23rd POSITION RNK 5th Buffalo is looking at some turnover on the defensive side of the ball this offseason. The addition of Chop Robinson allows them to address a premium position while getting more more inexpensive. Round 1 - Pick 25 Emeka Egbuka WR OHIO STATE • JR • 6'1" / 206 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Kansas City PROSPECT RNK 20th POSITION RNK 4th One thing that can be said about Ohio State's wide receivers is that they are well-coached and prepared to transition to the NFL. Kansas City needs a player who can be counted on to be in the right place at the right time. Round 1 - Pick 26 Kingsley Suamataia OT BYU • SOPH • 6'6" / 325 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Philadelphia PROSPECT RNK 48th POSITION RNK 9th Philadelphia gets a mammoth offensive lineman who can eventually take over for Lane Johnson on the right side. Kingsley Suamataia has played left and right tackle over the past two years. Round 1 - Pick 27 Troy Fautanu IOL WASHINGTON • JR • 6'4" / 317 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Detroit PROSPECT RNK 44th POSITION RNK 1st Detroit has a few interior offensive linemen scheduled to hit free agency. The addition of Troy Fautanu allows them to absorb some of that potential loss. From Houston Texans Round 1 - Pick 28 Quinyon Mitchell CB TOLEDO • JR • 6'0" / 196 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Arizona PROSPECT RNK 25th POSITION RNK 5th Arizona needs to identify some foundational pieces to its franchise. Quinyon Mitchell is a tough, accountable player who helps set the tone for the rest of that secondary. Round 1 - Pick 29 Bralen Trice EDGE WASHINGTON • JR • 6'4" / 274 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Miami PROSPECT RNK 24th POSITION RNK 6th Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb will both be coming off injuries next season. Emmanuel Ogbah's contract likely leads to the organization moving on from him this offseason. If they can rely on Andrew Van Ginkel, then perhaps they go in another direction but Bralen Trice gives them quality depth coming off a fantastic College Football Playoff semifinal performance against Texas. Round 1 - Pick 30 Tyler Nubin S MINNESOTA • SR • 6'2" / 210 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Dallas PROSPECT RNK 45th POSITION RNK 3rd Tyler Nubin has been a popular choice for Dallas. They need to upgrade that spot and the team is well-equipped at most other positions. Nubin is another ball hawk capable of capitalizing on opponents' bad choices. Round 1 - Pick 31 Jordan Morgan OT ARIZONA • SR • 6'5" / 325 LBS PROJECTED TEAM San Francisco PROSPECT RNK 43rd POSITION RNK 7th Jordan Morgan has started at left tackle but projects inside at the next level. San Francisco needs to upgrade its offensive line this offseason and Morgan allows them some flexibility. Round 1 - Pick 32 JT Tuimoloau EDGE OHIO STATE • JR • 6'4" / 270 LBS PROJECTED TEAM Baltimore PROSPECT RNK 22nd POSITION RNK 4th Jadeveon Clowney is playing out his contract with Baltimore. With as well as he has played this season, it would not be a surprise if the organization brought him back for another season but given recent history with Clowney, that decision may not happen until the summer. The 2024 NFL Draft will take place from April 25-27 in Detroit.

Stephanie Niles was in the box supporting Browning and the Bengals By Ryan Gaydos Fox News Published January 7, 2024 2:57pm EST Stephanie Niles, the girlfriend of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning, went viral on Sunday as the team pounced on the Cleveland Browns during their final matchup of the 2023 season. Niles was in the suite at Paycor Stadium in an all-white outfit with an orange hat as she cheered on Browning. As the cameras panned to her in the suite celebrating Browning’s first touchdown pass, Niles was looking for a high five but was iced out.

"Jake Browning playing with extra motivation today," Barstool Sports’ "Pardon My Take" podcast wrote on X. "Jake Browning indeed has a dog in him," Gavin McHugh added. Ben Domenech added: "In Week 18, the part of Taylor Swift will be played by backup Stephanie Niles." The Bengals had a 24-0 lead at the break.
