Bengals Sign LB Oren Burks to Two-Year Deal

Linebacker Oren Burks has signed a two-year, $5 million contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, as reported by multiple sources. Burks, who played a crucial role in the Philadelphia Eagles' recent Super Bowl victory, stepped in for the injured Nakobe Dean during the playoffs, recording 25 tackles and one sack. Despite a career largely spent on special teams, Burks is expected to compete for a starting position in Cincinnati. This move marks another departure from the Eagles' defense, joining other key players who have left this offseason. Burks has previously played with the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers, making Cincinnati his fourth NFL team. The Bengals see potential value in Burks as they manage their salary cap to retain star players.
