Cincinnati Bengals (@Bengals)
We've acquired LB Joe Bachie on waivers.

For what it’s worth, his original team the Saints and the Broncos also tried to claim him. The Saints must have seen something they liked from him before the Eagles grabbed him up.

It's also a fact that he was originally an undrafted free agent. So 32 teams x 7 rounds didn't think he was worth spending a draft pick on...

You don’t have to play the other side every time. I know he’s not anything to be excited about. I’m just saying he could have some upside. If he makes the team as the last linebacker I’d consider it a win. If not it’s no big loss.

You may know that but I'm less certain many people reading our posts do.

There's also this...

"Bachie- 8 games into his senior year at Mich State he tested positive for a PED and was suspended for the rest of the year."

The Cincinnati Bengals have more holes to fill than usual on Darrin Simmons’ special teams unit.

With names like Alex Erickson and Giovani Bernard gone, Simmons has spent the offseason adding free agents and draft picks capable of filling those big voids.

And one of those is punt returner.

Based on what Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com has seen so far, undrafted running back Pooka Williams is starting to stand out as a big option there:

“Special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons continues to hunt for a punt returner among undrafted rookies Pooka Williams Jr., and Riley Lees and veteran Trent Taylor. Williams is getting more and more comfortable catching punts for the first time in his life and is gaining confidence by the day in a roster joust that probably won’t be decide until the pre-season finale.”

Pooka was one of the undrafted free agents the Bengals gave the most cash to, so it isn’t all too shocking to see he’s already standing out. He’s also the poster boy for undrafted free agents who have the best chance of making the final roster.

Pooka, along with Lees and Taylor, are fighting for their roster lives by showing they can make a difference on special teams. And from the sounds of it, the undrafted free agent who can also make a big impact on the offense if given a chance might be close to pulling ahead.

That’s reassuring

@pauldehnerjr "the Bengals have had their past six first-round draft picks get injured during the season"

That pretty much sums up being a Bengals fan and doesn't even take into account the Ki-Jana's and Pollack's of the past.

Are you trying to jinx us this year or what?

I'd argue this franchise was jinxed long before I started rooting for them...
