The Cincinnati Bengals continue to slowly re-sign their key free agents before the market officially opens next week. After re-signing tight end Mike Gesicki to a huge deal, the Bengals brought back offensive lineman Cody Ford on a two-year contract, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Beyond possible extensions for Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Trey Hendrickson, the Bengals also figure to compete aggressively in free agency for outside help, especially for trench players on both sides of the football. Here's the cap outlook before the market opens.

The Cincinnati Bengals are re-signing tight end Mike Gesicki on a three-year, $25.5 million deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal includes $12 million in the 2025 season. He is now signed through the 2027 campaign.
