Locked On Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals have a big decision at backup quarterback as Joe Flacco’s value is clear based on his performance in 2025 and their need for a proven commodity behind Joe Burrow. Should Flacco be an offseason priority, and can the Bengals afford to let him walk with a weak backup QB market? James Rapien and Jake Liscow examine salary expectations and slim pickings for alternatives headlined by Marcus Mariota. With Trey Hendrickson’s likely departure looming, the guys also discuss the defense's direction this off season. Will the Bengals go the tag-and-trade route? Can Myles Murphy step up, or must Cincinnati make a splash to replace elite edge production? Will the Bengals have to find a different strength on defense?Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
