They need to fill that other safety spot preferably with a veteran but all in all the Bengals Defense is in good shape.
Edit: Most of the Defensive Depth will be returning too. Tre Flowers and Clay Johnston are the only free agents left I believe.
IDK if we carry 6 LBs again, either.
Guys who are Signed, Sealed, Delivered:
DE (5): Hendrickson, Hubbard; Ossai, C. Sample, Gunter
NT/DT (5): Reader, BJ Hill; Tupou, Carter, Tufele
LB (5): L. Wilson, Pratt; ADG, Bailey, Bachie
CB (5): Awuzie, CTB, Hilton; Apple, ???, Davis
S (4): D. Hill, ????; Anderson, Thomas, B. Wilson
Some guys may get upgraded via draft or FA (Gunter, Tufele, Carter, Tupou) or straight up let go (B. Wilson). One more CB signing (draft, Flowers, George) and a FA safety and the D is fully loaded and pending upgrades.
