The Cincinnati Bengals are contemplating the addition of linebacker Bobby Wagner, who ranks No. 81 on the NFL Top 100 for 2026. Wagner, 38, remains available in free agency and could provide veteran mentorship to the team's young linebackers. With 9.5 tackles per game last season, he may be a valuable asset. The Bengals have previously faced challenges in depth at this position, after Logan Wilson's trade request.
