Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson has solidified himself as one of the NFL’s top edge rushers, finishing 2024 with a league-leading 17.5 sacks.

The Cincinnati Bengals continued their busy offseason with the introduction of newly-hired defensive coordinator, Al Golden, formerly of Notre Dame.

Al Golden said he wanted to leave a place better than when he found it, and he believes he did that at Notre Dame.

The Bengals are still working on adding another coach or two to their staff, but they've finalized most of it, which includes the addition of Golden, defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery, linebackers coach Mike Hodges and offensive line coach Scott Peters.
