The Bengals are charging into the 2025 offseason with renewed vigor, eyeing a playoff berth despite slim odds. Key re-signings of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins bolster their offensive firepower, while defensive upgrades come via T.J. Slaton and Oren Burks. The return of Samaje Perine adds depth to the backfield. With a projected cap space of $49.7 million and six draft picks, including the 17th overall, Cincinnati is poised to strengthen its roster further. Coach Zac Taylor's bold move to replace the defensive coordinator signals a commitment to shoring up their defense. To clinch a playoff spot, the Bengals must win out and hope for favorable outcomes in other matchups.
