Jowon Briggs, the University of Cincinnati tenor who grew up close in Pleasant Ridge before making beautiful music along the Bearcats defensive line, hit a high note Tuesday at the Bengals' local pro day.

The Bengals.com Media Mock Draft careens into its third edition of 2024 fresh off Thursday night's Kelce brothers bash at the University of Cincinnati, and in their honor we draw on the immortal words of Faber College founder Emil Faber etched in Animal House lore:

Bengals stars Orlando Brown Jr. and Joe Burrow barged into the Kelce Brothers' frat party podcast Thursday night at the University of Cincinnati and got off some smart and funny one-liners in front of a delighted crowd of 12,500 during an evening of just plain football and fun.

In his perpetual pursuit to evolve as the Bengals franchise quarterback, Joe Burrow showed up for work Thursday with a growing frame to match.

The Zoom Interview came into the NFL Draft lexicon during the 2020 pandemic and like hand sanitizer, it stuck.  Two weeks before another draft in the Zooming '20s, the Zooms are in their final, valuable stages for this spring as the Bengals plot their board for the April 25-27 event.

Bolting up or sliding down in a draft-day trade presents a dizzying set of mechanics. Remember how the Bengals grabbed one of their budding Pro Bowlers in Nebraska cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt during the 2022 second round when they moved up three spots?

While rehabbing his torn ACL, Tycen Anderson, the Bengals' burgeoning Pro Bowl special teams player, is on target for the first day of training camp with a heady goal for a new rule.

After signing massive pass-protector Trent Brown Tuesday to use his decade-long NFL experience to shield Joe Burrow at right tackle this year, the move appeared to send the Bengals steaming with momentum into the next phase of the offseason. Free-agent signings start to slow and focus turns to next month's suddenly flexible draft where anything goes at No. 18.

Endorsed by old New England teammate Ted Karras, Trent Brown helped the Bengals claim the biggest book-end tackles in the NFL Tuesday when he signed a free-agent deal.

Houshmandzadeh.

Zack Moss had another reminder of just how far he's come in one of those inspirational, almost made-for-TV lives when he walked into Paycor Stadium Thursday for the first time as a Bengals running back and saw Chad Johnson.

The deals the Bengals reportedly struck in the first two days of free agency may have a massive impact on how they'll play the game in 2024.

Multiple reports have the Bengals re-signing backup linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither to a one-year deal. One report has special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons ecstatic.

The Bengals got that highly-drafted tight end Tuesday.  According to reports it just happened to be on the second day of free agency in a one-year agreement with the former Patriot and second-round draft pick of the Dolphins, Penn State's Mike Gesicki.

Former Ravens safety Geno Stone, the defending AFC interceptions leader who stole a division game here at Paycor Stadium with the first of those seven picks, is reportedly the newest Bengal. According to multiple reports Monday, Stone has agreed to a two-year deal that marks the fifth straight year the Bengals have secured a starter on the first day of free agency.
