The Cincinnati Bengals, led by quarterback Joe Burrow, have emerged as a desirable destination for free agents looking to compete. Veteran safety Justin Simmons recently expressed his interest in joining the Bengals, highlighting their consistent competitiveness alongside other top teams like Buffalo and Philadelphia. Although the Bengals have remained quiet this offseason, their potential interest in adding a safety, particularly through the upcoming NFL draft, indicates they are not ruling out strengthening their roster.

Despite the current plan to utilize Jordan Battle and Geno Stone at safety, the Bengals are exploring options to enhance their defense. If they fail to land a premier safety in the draft, there may be a chance for a reunion with Simmons, especially as teams look to bolster their rosters post-draft. This move could provide depth and competition, ensuring the Bengals remain a top contender in the league.
