The Cincinnati Bengals have really impressed the last few days, re-signing Trey Hendrickson and adding Dalton Risner.
But they still have a lot of cap space for this season.
And so legendary Bengals receiver Chad Johnson is doing his part to recruit safety Justin Simmons.
It all started when Johnson posted: “Yo @jsimms1119 i f***ing love you man, I’m not tampering just curious if you like Skyline Chilli because I know a place if you’re interested?”
Simmons then quote posted: “My guy!! Know I’m a Martin County kid (St. Lucie). Always looked up to you! I’ve always heard about Skyline Chilli! Would love to give it a try”
And then Johnson quote posted: “Dear @Bengals I did my part, you can take it from here.”
Adding Simmons would be a shrewd move for a team that is looking to contend with a younger and somewhat unestablished secondary. He played nine seasons for the Denver Broncos and one for the Atlanta Falcons last year.
Back in April, Simmons mentioned the Bengals as a team he’d like to sign with.
Now, thanks in part to Johnson, that might actually happen.
