Adam Caplan reports that the Bengals have scheduled a free agent meeting with defensive tackle Amobi Okoye.

The visit will take place following this week’s NFL owners meetings.

Okoye, who’s still only 24 years old, tallied four sacks off the bench for the Bears last season. In Cincinnati, he could spell starting “three-technique” tackle Geno Atkins when Atkins needs a breather. The Bengals’ other defensive tackles are Domata Peko, Pat Sims, and Nick Hayden.

Okoye is the No. 99 overall player on the PFT Hot 100.
