Bengals' trade interest in Jordyn Brooks ends after contract extension

The Cincinnati Bengals will not pursue linebacker Jordyn Brooks after he received a contract extension from the Miami Dolphins. Previously considered a possible trade target, Brooks had a strong season last year with 183 total tackles. The Bengals' focus has shifted to young linebackers Demetrius Knight and Barrett Carter, who are expected to lead the position heading into training camp. Although no trade for Brooks is forthcoming, the Bengals may still look to enhance their linebacker depth.
