The Cincinnati Bengals attempted this week to make it sound like they weren’t in the market for a cornerback.
That was apparently a lie.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Bengals signed former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nate Brooks on Friday.
Brooks went undrafted in 2019 and after that summer stint with the 49ers, played for the Birmingham Stallions in the USFL.
The Bengals had an obvious need at corner on the back end of the depth chart with DJ Ivey not all the way back from his season-ending injury last year. Brooks will compete with the likes of Jalen Davis and Allan George.
