Wednesday, the Bengals agreed to terms with free-agent safety Ricardo Allen, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It’s a one-year deal, confirmed by Allen’s reps.
Allen, 29, has been with the Falcons since 2015 and last year over 12 games posted a 62.4 PFF grade, picking off two passes in the process.
A depth move for a Bengals defense that has already added Chidobe Awuzie, Mike Hilton and Eli Apple to the secondary, Allen is a versatile type who can play corner or switch to a safety spot.
The move is yet the latest in a long line of resets for the defense, highlighted by the massive deal for edge rusher Trey Hendrickson
