- Bengals free agent contract, comp pick update is a head-scratcher
The Cincinnati Bengals sent a mild shocker across the fanbase in NFL free agency while losing safety Tycen Anderson .
Anderson, by most accounts, felt like a slam dunk to return to the Bengals . His contract didn't project to be massive and, more importantly, he's a key part of the special teams unit for coordinator Darrin Simmons.

Alas, Anderson signed with the Denver Broncos in free agency.
It gets just a little stranger, too.
As Over the Cap's Nick Korte explained, the contract details mean the Bengals won't even benefit from Anderson's loss impacting the compensatory draft pick process:
So, the Bengals lose a key contributor they now need to replace and don't get a boost to a comp pick situation they have cared dearly for over the years.
It's not a major ordeal. And it takes two parties to want a deal to happen. But it does create more problems, not solutions, in more ways than one for the Bengals.
