The Cincinnati Bengals have signed former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Oren Burks to a two-year, $5 million contract. Burks, who had a solid season with the Eagles, recording 41 tackles in 17 games, brings a wealth of experience and versatility to the Bengals' defense. His special teams experience and ability to fill critical gaps, especially during injuries like Nakobe Dean's, make him a valuable addition. The 30-year-old Burks is expected to replace Akeem Davis-Gaither on the roster, contributing to both defensive and special teams units. This move aligns with the Bengals' goal to strengthen their roster ahead of the upcoming season, particularly as they look to support star quarterback Joe Burrow and enhance their playoff run.
