Bengals adding 2 new scouts, per report

Some help after a recent departure.

After former Cincinnati Bengals scout Christian Sarkisian left to be the general manager at Northwestern, many Bengals fans wondered how the team would react. With one of the smallest scouting departments in the NFL, losing just one scout is a major loss.

Late Monday, it was reported that the Bengals would actually be hiring two new scouts in the wake of Sarkisian’s departure.

According to Neil Stratton, Josh Hinch and Tyler Ramsey are joining the Bengals scouting department.

Hinch lands in Cincinnati after spending time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots. Hinch scouted the Southeast area for New England and is expected to step into Sarkisian’s vacant role.

The Bengals are also adding Ramsey, who comes up north from the Carolina Panthers. Ramsey also scouted for the Seattle Seahawks previously.

So after losing a scout, the Bengals are actually expanding and adding an additional scout to the front office, something many fans have clamored for in recent years. Though they will still be on the lower end, the more eyes in the building scouting talent, the better.
