Bengals Target Offensive Line Upgrades After Cuts

The Cincinnati Bengals are actively seeking to fill their need for a starting guard after releasing Alex Cappa. Despite Mekhi Becton's strong performance with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Bengals do not consider him a fit due to past interactions and potential market demands. They have shown interest in Chicago Bears' free agent guard Teven Jenkins, who may command a high price. Options like Brandon Scherff from the Jacksonville Jaguars have been suggested for his pass protection, though his run-blocking is less impressive. The Bengals have re-signed Cody Ford but lost out on top free agents like Kevin Zeitler and Will Fries. Their urgency to improve the offensive line is driven by the need to protect star quarterback Joe Burrow and enhance their run game.
