The Cincinnati Bengals made two solid moves by agreeing to terms with safety Bryan Cook and defensive end Boye Mafe on the first day of free agency.
Today, both of them officially signed their deals.
In his press conference, Cook shared that he’s happy to come home (he was born in Cincinnati and played at UC). He believes that he brings leadership to Cincinnati’s defense and will be an “anchor” that supports his teammates.

Meanwhile, Mafe said he was “excited” to come to Cincinnati, specifically to be part of the growth of the team. “It’s one of those teams that people are going to know about soon,” he said. He talked about the energy that he brings and how it will help his young teammates improve.
Mafe shared that he still has “untapped potential” that isn’t reflected in his production. That’s probably the mindset the Bengals’ front office had when pursuing him.
