Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals hosted veterans including Xavien Howard and Leonard Fournette for workouts on Monday, and failed to sign Howard after extending an offer after a "good" workout, per reports. They ended up signing RB Gary Brightwell to the practice squad, and are ostensibly still looking for help on defense after trade deadline reports of seeking DL and CBs and today's workouts came up empty. The guys break down the poor optics for the front office, and take an updated look at the AFC wildcard picture after Week 10.
