The Cincinnati Bengals have plenty of cap space to go out and add a player or two in free agency after the 2025 NFL draft.
As always, the question is whether the Bengals will actually make a move or not.
If Zac Taylor, Duke Tobin and Co. do, they’ll find a few starter-caliber veterans left on the market, especially at positions of need. Here’s a look at a few targets who would make sense for the Bengals.
G Dalton Risner
Risner is one of the most popular ideas floated by Bengals fans on social media. It’s not hard to see why, either, considering he’s a former second-round pick going on 30 years old this summer. He battled injuries last year but would come in and compete for a starting guard job.

G Brandon Scherff
A former high-end first-round pick, there are questions as to whether Scherff wants to keep playing at the age of 33. He’d come in as a starter, though, which is a boon to find at this stage of the market.
S Justin Simmons
Another popular fan theory, Simmons actually said recently that the Bengals are a team he would like to sign with. He’s 31 now, but would at least give the coaches options beyond just Geno Stone and Jordan Battle.
S Julian Blackmon
Another option at safety, Blackmon had at least three interceptions in each of his last two seasons and is still just 27 years old.
CB Asante Samuel Jr.
There are injury red flags around the former second-round pick after he couldn’t really crack a rebuilding Chargers roster last year. But he’d be worth trying out as depth with upside.
