Sheldon Rankins Joins Bengals, Bolstering Defensive Line

The Cincinnati Bengals have signed defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins to a two-year deal, aiming to enhance their defensive capabilities.

Sheldon Rankins, previously with the Houston Texans, has signed a two-year contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, valued at $26 million.
Rankins is known for his strong pass-rushing abilities, having recorded six sacks against the Bengals in his career.
The Bengals pursued Rankins to fill the gap left by DJ Reader, seeking to improve their interior pass rush.
Rankins' signing is part of the Bengals' broader strategy to reinforce their defense, particularly against the run, where they struggled last season.
The Bengals believe Rankins' versatility and experience will be key in their push for a successful season.
