The Cincinnati Bengals are playing their first international game since 2019, as the NFL tabbed Joe Burrow's club for its Week 9 Madrid game against the Atlanta Falcons. Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase's star power were a big part of their selection for the NFL's second game in Spain, so Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down what the international exposure means for the 2026 Bengals, and how Burrow feels this offseason's moves have them primed to represent the league abroad. Plus, Andrei Iosivas' post-workout locker room comments stood out as he enters a contract year with Colbie Young entering the picture as competition for WR3 snaps.

The Bengals front office has gone all in, pushing their chips to the center of the table. Now, it's all up to Zac Taylor to deliver this season, his EIGHTH as the Bengals head coach.

How concerned should e be about depth at the wide receiver position? T he Bengals' 2026 NFL Schedule is going to be released Thursday night.

Kenny Moore, on paper, is a great fit for what the Bengals need to solidify their slot cornerback position. Jake Liscow and James Rapien discuss why adding Moore would make sense for the Bengals, and why the Bengals might have reservations about adding the veteran defensive back. Plus, DeAndre Hopkins and Kyle Van Noy have expressed interest in playing with Joe Burrow in Cincinnati, so the guys discuss whether those veterans could help be floor raisers if the Bengals were interested in delving into cheap veteran ring chasers.

The Bengals added linebacker Swayze Bozeman on waivers from the New York Giants along with 11 undrafted free agents to fill out their 90-man roster, and got through rookie minicamp with full participation and no contract drama. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down what it means that they went the waiver route to add a veteran linebacker with special teams experience, and if it portends inactivity for additional moves at linebacker. Plus, we break down the takeaways from rookie minicamp including Cashius Howell's participation and contract commentary, the chip on Jack Endries' shoulder, and the outlook for Colbie Young. Plus, we break down this year's crop of Bengals UDFAs.

While Joe Burrow says he is pretty excited about the additions to the Bengals, the focus now shifts to the Bengals actually living up to their potential on the field. The Bengals may be Super Bowl contenders this season, but if they don't live up to their potential, there could be a feeling of if they ever will. Alex Frank, Coach Art Valero, and FOX19 Sports Director Joe Danneman discuss why it is so paramount the Bengals, at the very least, get back to the Playoffs and put themselves back in the Super Bowl conversation this season. It's worth noting that if the Bengals get in the Playoffs, we know what Joe Burrow can do. Back in 2021, Joe Burrow famously said that if the Bengals could win the AFC North that they could win it all. Unfortunately, the Bengals have had a rocky road in the AFC North since 2021. Should we be concerned about Burrow and the Bengals' ability to perform in the AFC North?

A lot has changed for the Cincinnati Bengals since we first graded their free agency additions, most notably the huge swing to trade for Dexter Lawrence. They also re-signed Joe Flacco, signed Kyle Dugger, and added Cashius Howell and others in a draft class that we generally liked. With that in mind, it's time for Jake Liscow and James Rapien to grade the Bengals' entire offseason to date, which includes a major upgrade for veteran additions after the Lawrence trade that should make a significant difference for the defense, and improved depth around the roster that should improve resiliency in 2026.

Look, the Cincinnati Bengals' offense is going to be really good in 2026. It could be the best offense in team history. But for that to happen, there's one thing this offense must be that made them so successful initially in 2021: creating explosive plays down the field. Alex Frank, Jake Liscow, Coach Art Valero, and FOX19's Gabi Sorrentino discuss how the Bengals offense can take the top off opposing defenses and be the most high-flying offense in the NFL. It's not just about Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins in the passing game. Chase Brown may hold the key to this offense being what fans hope it can be in 2026. The NFL Schedule is going to be released this month, and the Bengals are one of the most interesting teams as far as how many prime time and national TV games they will get. Does the trade for Dexter Lawrence change the schedule makers' process in assembling the schedule and how many times the Bengals will be in prime time and on national television?

The Cincinnati Bengals haven't signed a linebacker this offseason, and that's led some to the conclusion that they simply didn't want to add a starter with Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter on the roster. Jake Liscow and James Rapien don't buy it, so we get into a mythbusting episode and break down what the Bengals' intention was for the offseason, why they pivoted to other plans, and how much of a blemish not signing a linebacker leaves on an exciting offseason of defensive additions. Plus, we discuss the remaining options and the best potential floor-raising fits if the Bengals do add a linebacker late in the offseason.

Did the Cincinnati Bengals make the right decision in declining Myles Murphy's 5th year option? Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down what the Bengals were thinking as they turned down the $14.46M 5th year of team control for Murphy. Do the Bengals see him as a starting-level edge rusher with investments in Shemar Stewart, Boye Mafe, and Cashius Howell at the position? Would they approach him with an extension this offseason, and if they did, would he be interested? Plus, why the Bengals' 2027 cap situation seems like a real factor in their decision.

After signing Boye Mafe in free agency and drafting Cashius Howell in the Second Round in the NFL Draft, the Bengals declined to pick up Myles Murphy's fifth-year option. Duke Tobin says they want to have a long-term relationship with the ascending edge rusher, so is this the right thing for the Bengals to do with Murphy? Alex Frank, Coach Art Valero, and CLNS Media Bengals beat writer Mike Petraglia discuss how the Bengals are sending a message to Myles Murphy by not picking up his fifth-year option. Colbie Young is the Bengals' riskiest draft pick, and it's not just for his off-the-field suspension in 2024. Can Young silence the concerns about him and potentially become this team's WR3? If Young can, Andrei Iosivas's future with the team may be in serious question. But if both Young and Iosivas both don't produce this season, then what does WR3 look like? The Bengals' front office has never been under more scrutiny than this offseason. To their credit, they have responded and delivered. How much credit should they get right now, and is there more they could do this offseason?

After all that time talking about linebackers and cornerbacks, the Bengals picked one of the best pure pass rushers in the class in the second round in Cashius Howell. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down how the Bengals landed on Howell, how he'll immediately fit into Al Golden's defense, and the impact he can make early in his NFL career. Plus, they went with traits at cornerback in the 3rd. Tacario Davis brings crazy speed and size to the Bengals' cornerback room. The guys dig into both picks and what work remains for the Bengals on Day 3. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
