Joe Giles-Harris, formerly a linebacker for the Jacksonville Jaguars, has signed a one-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals after the Jaguars opted not to tender him a contract. Giles-Harris, who entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie out of Duke, has had a varied career path, previously spending time with the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots. His time with the Jaguars saw him primarily contributing on special teams, where he logged over 400 snaps.

With the Bengals, Giles-Harris aims to carve out a more significant role, especially after the Jaguars made substantial changes to their roster in the offseason, including signing ten outside free agents and releasing several key players. The Bengals' decision to bring him aboard reflects their ongoing efforts to strengthen their defensive lineup.
