The Cincinnati Bengals have a lot of work to do this offseason. From the Joe Burrow extension they want to complete prior to the NFL Draft, plenty of action lies ahead as they try to build the roster and get back to another Super Bowl.

Cool hats, great cause.
The Cincinnati Bengals did a great job in signing center Ted Karras last off-season. Karras has been an awesome leader in the locker room, a solid presence in the middle of the offensive line, and he has produced some great mic’d-up moments as well.
Other than the awesome impact in Cincinnati, Karras used hats he made for his teammates to do a lot of good in his hometown of Indianapolis with The Cincy Hat. I did a write-up in...
