As each game passes, what Browning continues to pull off becomes more notable, not just from a magical run perspective but through the long-term view.
Browning will be an exclusive rights free agent at the end of this season, so he’ll be locked into the Bengals’ qualifying offer of a league minimum for next season with no other options but to return to Cincinnati. He’d be a restricted free agent in 2025 so his options would increase, but the Bengals would merely need to increase the qualifying offer to receive higher compensation should another team attempt to poach him. Essentially, he’s under reasonable team control for the next two seasons.

Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
