Bengals Strengthen Their Defensive Core
The team has finalized two key agreements that will reinforce its defensive unit. With the hard-nosed approach expected to carry into the upcoming seasons, these deals mark a clear commitment to bolstering the lineup on that side of the ball.
Oren Burks Contract Terms
The linebacker is set to receive a base contract worth $5 million over the course of two seasons. His deal includes a guaranteed amount of $750,000, along with salary splits of $1.4 million for the first season and $1.69 million for the second. The guarantee is activated early in the contract, providing immediate security and a strong foundation for his role within the team.
Cornerback Marco Wilson Announcement
In addition to the new linebacker deal, the organization unveiled the contract for cornerback Marco Wilson. This move is part of a broader strategy to enhance defensive depth and ensure that the team remains competitive. Details of his agreement further emphasize the focus on building a robust secondary capable of significant contributions during challenging matchups.
