The Cincinnati Bengals could have another interesting target available to them in free agency over the next few days, should Duke Tobin and Co. want to get active adding to the roster.
Over in the NFC, the Washington Commanders granted the release request of veteran safety Darnell Savage.
Savage, 28, is a former first-round pick who had ties to Bengals like defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery. But he’s now looking for his fourth team since entering the NFL in 2019.

The Bengals have an obvious disinterest in playing names on the depth chart behind Jordan Battle and Geno Stone. Guys like Tycen Anderson and even Daijahn Anthony haven’t been given much of a shot in an Al Golden defense all about trying out new things.
That probably wouldn’t change if the Bengals went and added Savage. But building stronger depth in the winter months while trying to make the playoffs is never a terrible idea.
Plus, having more options going into an offseason where safety is obviously a spot they will look to address isn’t a bad idea, either.
Unlikely or not, Savage-like free agents will continue to become available over the next few weeks and make some level of sense for the Bengals.
