Bengals Invest in Safety Bryan Cook with Three-Year Deal

The Cincinnati Bengals have signed former Chiefs safety Bryan Cook to a three-year, $40.25 million contract. Cook, a Cincinnati Bearcat alum, is expected to start alongside Jordan Battle. His arrival provides a significant upgrade to the Bengals' defense, which struggled with yards after contact in 2025. This move signals a shift in the team's defensive strategy and impacts their potential draft targets at the safety position.
