8 free agents who should interest Bengals before the draft

A look at names the Bengals should still consider in free agency.

The Cincinnati Bengals have made some serious headway in the quiet part of free agency.

Cincinnati got great values on deals for cornerback Sidney Jones, tight end Irv Smith Jr. and defensive lineman Tarell Basham.

At this stage of the open market, that’s a trend that could certainly continue if and when the Bengals seek out better depth at some notable positions. With a few notable exceptions, many of the names left might settle for minimum deals either before or after the draft.

While the Bengals might wait to get active until after the draft to see how the board falls, the following names should interest them at this stage of free agency.
