What up Bengals stands and welcome to another episode of the Locked-on Bengals podcast.

I'm your host, Jake.

Let's go along with your host, James Rupin. It's Super Bowl week, which means we have to talk about the Super Bowl. James.

We're going to wrap the show up today with some Super Bowl talk. We'll get some picks in, maybe,

some thoughts about the matchup. And I know it's not about the Bengals, but who cares about the

other 30 teams during Super Bowl week, honestly? Oh, I know the answer to that question, James.

Bengal. We'll talk about that one a little bit. And then we're going to take a look at the mock draft

of Roundup. And there's some very obvious and discernible trends for the players that experts seem to think

the Bengals will draft. But James, let's start with Jack Barrett. The guy that would have been

a great free agent signing for the Bengals, it would have been a two-year, $14 million deal or so that the Cincinnati Bengals

pulled because they found something in his shoulder. And when you read the full quote,

it's a little bit reminiscent of the Warren Sap deal that fell through at the last hour,

at the 11th hour hour except it's different because

Shaq Barrett young player a lot of upside it just stings a little to read the quote even though

we kind of knew this is what happened a couple years ago yeah it's not new necessarily new

info but it came from the horse's mouth.
