They are one of the worst run, least profitable and least attended teams in the nfl.

Their lease is up.  Their owner is cheap and they have been losers for 30+ years

2025 will be the last year of nfl football in cincy. That’s my guess

I've thought about this as well because I believe the tax payers, city, and Bengals ownership are going to have quite a contentious relationship when talking about the franchise remaining in Cincinnati past the current agreement.

So for Bengals fandom, what's the best case scenario if they leave? A relocation to Columbus? I'm from Cincinnati but no longer in the area so I'd be content with a Columbus destination. I'd be disappointed if they ended up in San Antonio, Austin, San Diego, or somewhere unconnected to Ohio.

Edit: If the Bengals leave, I think it permanently ends the NFL in Cincinnati. The league would have better options for locating a team than Cincinnati.
