In fact, Bengals.com Transactions shows no Bengals Free Agents added. Are they not signed yet ? Why does Bengals.com not show them added ?

Look at this way, no free agent going to any other team has been able to sign, either. The entire league is going by the "honor" system for the time being. I'm going to go ahead and assume that it will be the same for the draft picks, as well. Just like with free agency, they'll be able to negotiate and agree to terms, but not actually able to sign contracts until the physicals, and in some cases, private workouts can be performed.
I'm pretty sure that there a lot of fans for all of the various teams, who are feeling a bit nervous about the entire process right now. With that in mind, I'm not going to get worked up in a panic over this, and I sincerely hope that nobody else does, either.

And Tony Brown and that Rose Corner that lead the CFL in interceptions are on the roster too.
Believe we brought in another Corner or two that I cannot remember their names.
If anything we went overkill trying to get the most talent at DB with all these signings plus Vonn Bell.

I remember watching Tony Brown when he came out and I swore he was gonna make the switch to safety....I still think he should switch to safety.

I think you might find that everything has been agreed and contracts have been signed with a caveat in the contract stating that if there is an issue or problem with the medical then the contract can be cancelled.
They do this all the time over here when football (soccer) teams sign players on transfer deadline day and they haven't had a chance to get the player through a medical.
It also basically confirms this here :-

Tony can build up if needed to then, Synric knows his stuff.
RE: Bengals Suddenly Thin at DB - Mobster - 04-03-2020
Agreed.
They have three guys who are serviceable starters. But definitely lacking in top end talent. Then behind those three, there's a lot of questions marks, inexperience, and journeymen.
Not our biggest position of need. But not exactly a strength either.
