The Cincinnati Bengals have officially signed 10 undrafted free agents to their 2026 offseason roster.

All college free agent contracts are three-year deals with minimum, non-guaranteed salaries, and varying signing bonuses.

Here are the reported agreements between Cincinnati and UDFAs following the 2026 draft.

Bengals 2026 undrafted free agent signings

  • Liam Brown, G, Montana
  • Kentrel Bullock, RB, South Alabama
  • Jack Dingle, LB, Cincinnati
  • Eric Gentry, LB, USC
  • Jamal Haynes, RB, Georgia Tech
  • Christian Jones, OT, San Diego State
  • Josh Kattus, TE, Kentucky
  • Corey Robinson II, OT, Arkansas
  • Noah Thomas, WR, Georgia
  • Ceyair Wright, CB, Nebraska

Nine of the 10 signings were reported directly following the draft. Brown is a new name to the list. He was a four-year starter at Montana and logged snaps at four of the five offensive line positions for the Grizzlies. That positional versatility should help him see the field during the preseason.

Dingle and Gentry are the only two new linebackers that have been added to the roster this offseason, giving the position group a total of eight according to the team’s official website. Dingle becomes the second former UC Bearcat on the roster. He joins safety Bryan Cook, who was signed as a free agent in March.

Jones notably received a $50,000 signing bonus in his contract with Cincinnati, one of the largest the club has ever given out to a UDFA. For reference, defensive tackle Eric Gregory had the largest signing bonus in the Bengals’ 2025 UDFA class at $30,000. Jones started two full years at left tackle for San Diego State.

Kattus is the son of former Bengals tight end Eric Kattus, who played with the team from 1986-1991 and played in 83 games. He played high school ball at nearby Archbishop Moeller.

Former Mississippi safety Isaiah Nwokobia was reported to sign with Cincinnati, but has not been officially announced by the club yet.
