Cam Sample

SF Defensive End #96

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

49ers signed DE Cam Sample, formerly of the Bengals.

The details of Sample’s one-year deal have not been announced yet. The 26-year-old pass rusher has notched two sacks in each of his last three seasons. He did not play in 2024. He generated 12 quarterback pressures last year and will compete for a backup role in San Francisco.
Lucas Patrick

NYG Center #62

Giants signed OL Lucas Patrick, formerly of the Bengals, to a one-year contract.

Patrick is an 11-year vet who has started 65 games in his career. He’s a versatile lineman who can play anywhere along the interior and started 25 games with the Bears and Saints from 2023 to 2024. He appeared in just six games for the Bengals last season due to an injury, making one start. Patrick played on just 23 offensive snaps all of last season. His ability to lineup at various positions should make him a solid depth signing for the Giants.
Kyle Dugger

CIN Safety #29

Bengals signed S Kyle Dugger.

Dugger was a full-time starter for years in New England before falling out of favor under new head coach Mike Vrabel, starting four of seven games before the Patriots traded him to the Steelers. Now the 30-year-old safety is on his way to Cincinnati, where he’ll presumably start once again. Dugger had 59 total tackles, five passes defended and two interceptions in 16 games (13 starts) in 2025.
Joe Flacco

CIN Quarterback #16

Bengals re-signed QB Joe Flacco to a one-year, $6 million contract.

Elder millenial legend Flacco will enter his age-41 season as Joe Burrow’s backup. It appears that a market did not appear for his services as a starter. Given how often Burrow has been hurt and the acumen he displayed in “simply throwing the ball in Ja’Marr Chase’s general direction,” it’s as good a landing spot as a backup as any for Flacco.
Tycen Anderson

DEN Safety #26

Broncos signed S Tycen Anderson, formerly of the Bengals.

The former fifth-round pick spent the past three seasons in Cincinnati. He didn’t play a single snap on defense until last year, when he logged 64 defensive snaps. Anderson has seen over 700 special teams snaps in the last two years alone. That will be his path to a roster spot in Denver.
Cam Taylor-Britt

IND Cornerback #29

Colts signed CB Cam Taylor-Britt, formerly of the Bengals, to a one-year contract.

Taylor-Britt has worked under DC Lou Anarumo before in Cincinnati. Entering his age-27 season, Taylor-Britt proved capable of combustible moments with the Bengals despite some flashes of great play. He’s a fine depth signing behind Charvarius Ward, who has a concussion history that can’t be ignored at this point.
Joe Flacco

CIN Quarterback #16

The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. believes the Bengals are “waiting on” Joe Flacco.

Flacco has been searching for an unlikely path to a starting job, but one doesn’t seem like it will materialize any time soon. The Bengals brought in Josh Johnson as a backup, but Dehner believes he’s just a hedge in case Flacco is able to find more reps elsewhere. Our nation’s great Flacco free-agency scuttlebutt will continue.
Josh Johnson

CIN Quarterback #14

Bengals agreed to terms with QB Josh Johnson on a one-year contract.

The well-traveled quarterback turns 40 on Sunday and heads back to Cincinnati for his third stint with the team after agreeing to terms on a one-year contract. He’ll have a good chance to earn the backup role behind franchise quarterback Joe Burrow considering the only other quarterback on the roster is Sean Clifford. Johnson has spent time with 16 NFL franchises during his sprawling career, amassing 11 professional starts across 50 appearances, most recently starting two games for the Commanders in 2025 in relief of the injured Jayden Daniels. The financials of the contract were not yet made available.
Geno Stone

BUF Safety #22

Bills signed S Geno Stone, formerly of the Bengals, to a one-year contract.

Stone, 26, spent the last two seasons with the Bengals. PFF credits him with six interceptions, two forced incompletions, 139 solo tackles, two TFLs, 16 quarterback pressures and two sacks. Ironically, he earned his two highest PFF grades during that span as a pass rusher, earning 63.4 PFF pass-rush grade and a 72.8 PFF pass-rush grade, respectively. Sounds like the Bills got a decent tackler and blitzer.
Marco Wilson

MIA Cornerback #24

Dolphins signed CB Marco Wilson, formerly of the Bengals, to a one-year contract.

Wilson only appeared in four games for the Bengals last year. He was on and off the game-day roster early in the season before a hamstring issue in Week 12 ended his season. Wilson began his career as a starter in Arizona and has since settled into a reserve role on multiple teams. He will likely continue that trend in Miami.
