Bengals Target Veteran Pass Rusher Cameron Jordan

The Cincinnati Bengals are actively strengthening their defense following the initial free agency period. Recent acquisitions include edge rusher Boye Mafe, safety Bryan Cook, and defensive tackle Jonathan Allen. However, the team acknowledges that further defensive upgrades are necessary to achieve their goals.

Significant needs remain, particularly in the secondary and along the defensive line. The Bengals could target another cornerback and safety, potentially in the 2026 NFL Draft. More critically, enhancing the front seven is a priority, with the need for reinforcements at defensive line and edge rusher, even after signing Mafe.
