The Cincinnati Bengals have a lot of work to do this offseason. Cincinnati is working on a few key contract extensions, including one for superstar Ja’Marr Chase. The Bengals also need to rebuild their defense after a poor performance in 2024.

The Bengals are signing former Packers defensive tackle T.J. Slaton to a two-year, $15.1 million contract according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Packers picked Slaton in the fifth round (173rd overall) in the 2021 NFL Draft.

The Cincinnati Bengals are signing former Green Bay Packers defensive tackle T.J. Slaton on a two-year deal worth $15.1 million.
