The Cincinnati Bengals were busy locking up players on futures contracts in recent weeks but will end up missing out on one they wanted to keep.
That one is linebacker Davin Bellamy, who opted to turn down a reserves/futures offer so he could go rejoin the Houston Texans, per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.
Bellamy had initially joined the Texans after the 2018 draft and lasted until this August during final cuts. The Bengals had scooped him up and placed him on the practice squad late in September.
While a small note, this is another nod toward a complete revamp for the Bengals in the linebacker corps. this offseason, pending the future of someone like Nick Vigil, whose contract expires this offseason. Ditto for pass-rushing depth on the edge.
