With the 2026 NFL season almost here, the Cincinnati Bengals have yet to hammer out new deals for three of their top impending free agents.
A recent report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggests that the team is unlikely to get a contract extension done for fourth-year cornerback DJ Turner before Week 1. Because the team typically doesn't get big extensions done in-season, this would likely mean Turner plays out the final year of his rookie contract.
He's not the only cornerback up for a new deal. Former first-round pick Dax Hill is set to play this season under the fifth-year option, and there hasn't been anything to suggest that the team is close to signing him to an extension either.
Finally, there's Chase Brown, one of the NFL's best running backs who's still on a rookie contract. Back in January, there was a report from ESPN's Ben Baby that Brown and the Bengals were working on a new deal, but since then, it's been mostly crickets.
With Week 1 vs. Tampa Bay kicking off soon, it appears there's a very real chance that none of these three key players will get a new deal.
