Jeremy Fowler reports that the Bengals are picking up Dax’s 5th year

Not sure how I feel about this one. Here's to hoping he finds a position and stays healthy.

If the Bengals use him properly(SS- NB) then it should be good move for them.

It is a very good price. Only 9.6 million for Dax.

I'm not sure his performance is worth the 5th year option, but they also don't have a replacement lined up so I suppose it makes sense to keep him.

I think he showed he can play outside last year, so he’s earned the reps there. But now that NCB has opened a spot, I’m sorta disappointed they aren’t moving him there PERMANENTLY. I feel bad for the kid in that he’s had to play all over the place, but perhaps that’s a good thing now, having experience at multiple spots. But he projected as a NCB / interior defensive backfield type coming out of that draft, if I remember correctly. Let CTB, Turner, Newton battle it out for CB1-2 duties throughout OTAs and TC I say.

I may be wrong, but I think in the base defense Dax will. be ined up outside and Turner on the other side.
On passing downs, Britt or Newton (winner of the camp battle) comes in and the slide Dax to cover the slot receiver.

This locks Dax Hill, a multi-year starter before a Week 5 ACL tear, into a projected $12.7M for 2026.

The Bengals have made clear recently they don’t want to develop key players only for them to leave in free agency. https://t.co/z5PRFQ8Fbn pic.twitter.com/uCZWRP2yUf

I think he has enough talent to justify picking up the option, and trust Golden has a plan for him.
If Golden said Dax has no home, or had doubt, he'd be out the door, so I am optimistic.

I thought the consensus was that he was their strongest DB before the injury. At the very least he can take over Mike Hilton's spot and role

I would be all for that, provided he can handle the workload and the mental aspect of the difference in duties between the positions.

As far as workload, most starting CB's never leave the field if defense is on the field.
As for the mentak, If Travis Hunter can handle and learn multiple positions at CB and WR, Daz should be just fine.

This is a good move. Hopefully he’s healthy because I think he can be a solid player. For that $ they had to do it.

For me, Golden gets some grace to see what he can do with all these players.
It would be nice to see if the FO is REALLY this bad at drafting talent or were the defensive coaches and Pollack really that bad at talent development?
---Well one answer to that question is that Pollack was known to NOT be a talent developer, so I'm glad we got Mims away from his.
My point essentially is that I'm not considering anyone on the roster "trash" if Golden and our new OL coach want them here. They get a year or two of grace.
