Cincinnati Bengals miss out on All-Pro linebacker Jordyn Brooks

Cincinnati Bengals were unable to secure All-Pro linebacker Jordyn Brooks, who signed a three-year, $51.3 million deal with the Miami Dolphins. The Bengals' defense has struggled recently, ranking in the bottom 10 in yards allowed per game since 2022. With recent departures, including last season's sack leader Trey Hendrickson, Cincinnati faces significant questions on defense moving forward. The team's issues were evident last season when they allowed the most touchdowns and the second-most yards in the league.
