The Cincinnati Bengals entered free agency with the initial goal being player retention.
They did some of that, bringing back Germaine Pratt, plus a host of smaller names such as Trayveon Williams, Michael Thomas, Trent Taylor and others.
But there was a mix of expected and unexpected losses when Jessie Bates, Vonn Bell, Hayden Hurst and Samaje Perine all left on the open market — which helped play into the shocking twist that was adding Orlando Brown Jr. in front of Joe Burrow.
With the market cooling off, here’s a look at the remaining Bengals free agents left. There are a few who could easily re-sign with the team and provide meaningful help in 2023, too.
CB Eli Apple
S Brandon Wilson
CB Tre Flowers
TE Drew Sample
LS Clark Harris
QB Brandon Allen
CB Chris Lammons
TE Mitchell Wilcox
LB Clay Johnston
RB Elijah Holyfield
