Bengals re-sign veteran leader
The Bengals bring back one of their own with recent signing.
The NFL's free agency frenzy has begun, and the Cincinnati Bengals haven't wasted any time bringing back an in-house veteran.
On Monday, the Bengals re-signed safety, Michael Thomas to a one-year deal.
This is the second consecutive one-year contract for Thomas with the Bengals.
Thomas signed to the Bengals' practice squad in October 2021 before being elevated to the active roster that November and he's been a steady contributor ever since.
Not only does Thomas provide depth at safety and a presence on special teams (logged 431 snaps the last two seasons), but he's a leader in the locker room seeing as he was a team captain in 2022.
This news isn't as big as safeties Jesse Bates or Vonn Bell coming back to Cincinnati, but it is a valuable one.
