Reports: Bengals Signing DT Jonathan Allen to 2-Year, $26M Deal
The Bengals signed Jonathan Allen to a two-year deal worth up to $28 million to strengthen their defensive line during the early free agency period.
- ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Thursday that the Bengals signed defensive tackle Jonathan Allen to a two-year deal worth up to $28 million.
- Wednesday's roster move freed Allen to sign elsewhere after being released by Minnesota as a cap casualty despite two years left on a three-year, $51 million contract signed in 2025.
- Last season, Allen started all 17 games, matching his career-high of 68 tackles while adding 3.5 sacks and 11 quarterback hits, according to ESPN.
- The signing makes Allen the Bengals' third defensive free-agent signing after Boye Mafe and Bryan Cook, following Monday's start of free-agent negotiations, and will bolster their defensive front, as emphasized by Duke Tobin.
- Versatile along the defensive line, Allen gives Bengals defensive coordinator Al Golden more schematic options and was a 2017 first-round pick with eight seasons at Washington, including notable impact plays.
