Bengals are not picking up the fifth-year option on the contract of 2018 first-round draft pick Billy Price, per source. Price now is slated to become a free agent after this season.

Billy Price is committed to finishing out his contract with the Bengals and looking forward to a fresh start elsewhere after the season. #Bengals

So the Bengals will definitely draft a center this week. Which I thought was obvious anyway. This draft might not have the Bengals take a defensive player til their 4th pick.
