Bengals Defensive Coordinator Al Golden speaks at the 2025 NFL Combine

It sounds like another position change could be on the table for Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Dax Hill. New Bengals defensive coordinator Al Golden figures to implement plenty of changes as he takes over this offseason.

ESPN contributor Aaron Schatz thinks the Bengals should trade Trey Hendrickson to build up their defense instead of extending him this offseason. The 2024 NFL sack leader is rushing the passer as well as anyone in the NFL right now.

At corner, Cam Taylor-Britt remains a huge question mark and it sounds like Dax Hill could be undergoing a big position change, too. When it comes to safety, at least, new Bengals defensive coordinator Al Golden might've provided some clarity recently.

ESPN’s Aaron Schatz outlined “bold” predictions for the offseason and said the Bengals need to trade Hendrickson away: The Bengals need to rebuild this defense with not just one great edge rusher, and they need a fresh start with new defensive coordinator Al Golden.

Despite a late surge in November, another slow start to the year caused the Cincinnati Bengals to miss the playoffs in 2024. As a result, the perennial contenders have already made multiple marquee changes in the 2025 NFL offseason and are ready to make several more in free agency.

And while the Bengals might just go into next season giving Geno Stone and Jordan Battle a shot under new coordinator Al Golden, they would be wise to look at free agency, too. There, they might find someone like San Francisco 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga appealing.

The Cincinnati Bengals have finalized its coaching staff for the 2025 season. A total of seven coaching changes were made this offseason, headlined by Al Golden's return to the Queen City as the new defensive coordinator.

A massive influx of Cincinnati Bengals roster moves will kick off free agency for the team. The Bengals got started on this front with the release of Sheldon Rankins, then went quiet again—until Monday. Getting the cap dominoes in order while figuring out big-money extensions for Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Trey Hendrickson isn’t simple.
