Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet)
Former #Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette is planning to sign with the #Bucs, per me and @TomPelissero. The belief is it will get done.

Wow, you gotta give the Bucs props. They 100% have the win now mentality with Brady on board. Signing every key piece.

Saw this quote from Mixon:

“I’m not here to prove anybody wrong,” Mixon said. “I’m just trying to prove (the Bengals) right for why they paid me. That’s what I do. That’s what I love to do. I’m here to play the game. I love the game, and I love being here as a Bengal. I love my teammates and just being able to have this opportunity, I’ve got to be able to produce so they get that narrative out of everybody’s head, and just try to help the young guys and show them how it’s supposed to be done. I’m blessed enough to be able to be in this position to go ahead and do that.”

Bengals acquired DT Christian Covington from the Broncos in exchange for LB Austin Calitro.

27 next month, Covington has appeared in 66 career games, making 15 starts as a rotational lineman. He has 8.5 career sacks and one forced fumble. Covington played in all 16 games for Dallas last season, getting in on 45% of the defensive snaps. He gives the Bengals some depth after DT Josh Tupou opted out and then Renell Wren was placed on I.R.

For what it's worth, that Athletic article referenced in the other thread had Calitro making the team, but I think he was very much a bubble player (which isn't saying much as a linebacker on this team). I like the move to pick up some more depth on the d-line.

Not sure how I feel about this....

#Bengals have cut WR Trenton Irwin, per a source. He’ll likely be on the team’s practice squad.

Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero)
The #Bengals informed QB Jake Dolegala they're waiving him, source said.
Cincinnati already let Brandon Allen go, leaving just two QBs on the roster for the moment: No. 1 pick Joe Burrow and Ryan Finley.
