It's finally July. NFL training camps begin later this month. We're getting closer and closer to the real thing again, but there's still plenty of time to put our intuition and imagination to the test before the Cincinnati Bengals take the (practice) field once again. The Bengals could use some imagination right about now.

This guy should have been drafted.
The Cincinnati Bengals drafted two offensive linemen this year, but they were not done adding young talent to that room.

Winner of the 2024 Rimington Award for the nation’s best center, McLaughlin has the tools to play guard as well. In...

The jury is still out on these former first-round picks of the Bengals.
While there have been many factors in the Bengals’ failure to make the playoffs in back-to-back seasons, the shortcomings of two first-round picks certainly aided in that.

This should be fun to watch.
The Cincinnati Bengals saw a rival bring in a relatively familiar face on Monday. The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey in a trade with the Miami Dolphins.
In the deal, Pittsburgh sent Minkah Fitzpatrick to Miami, reuniting him with the team that drafted him in 2018.
Ramsey has a history of playing the Bengals over the years. In 2017, the Bengals were playing in Jacksonville when Ramsey was a member...

Joe Burrow did all he could to take the Cincinnati Bengals back to the playoffs last year. He would've been a serious MVP candidate had he managed to overcome the deficiencies around him.
The NFL offseason affords players the opportunity to pursue some outside interests. In the case of Cincinnati Bengals rookie offensive lineman Dylan Fairchild, that meant taking on a UFC star in a short bout.
Cincinnati Bengals training camp begins in a little over three weeks, and rookie offensive lineman Dylan Fairchild is training hard off the field. In this case, off the field means inside the Octagon.
From 2004 to 2008, TJ Houshmandzadeh had an impressive career with the Cincinnati Bengals. He racked up 5,062 receiving yards on 445 receptions and found paydirt 36 times.
While Trey Hendrickson and the Bengals have resumed extension talks, the parties still do not appear to close to an agreement. With other monster edge rush deals looming, a waiting game could ensue which has an impact on the 2024 NFL sack leader.
