Getty Images The Bengals said earlier this year that they see no need to wait until wide receiver A.J. Green plays out the final year of his current deal before they give him an extension, but no deal to extend Green’s stay in Cincinnati has been struck at this point. A lack of desire to stay...

Getty Images The Bengals had a long run with Marvin Lewis as head coach, but there wasn’t much success on the field the last few years and it was hard to avoid the feeling that things had gotten stale in Cincinnati. Attendance lagged, energy was down and, finally, Lewis was out after the 2018...
