Bengals roster moves: Cody Ford re-signs before free agency opens

The Cincinnati Bengals have made their second notable move before free agency with the re-signing of offensive lineman Cody Ford.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo was the first to report the news, confirming it’s a one-year deal.

Ford, a second-round pick in 2019 by the Buffalo Bills, joined the Bengals last season and earned a spot on the final 53-man roster, starting one game last season and appearing in 17.

The first big move before free agency was applying the franchise tag to Tee Higgins. The re-signing of Ford secures some younger (27) depth on the interior with flexibility for tackle play, too, before the line figures to be something they address in free agency and the draft, too.
