Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Skinner

The 2026 NFL league year and free agency signing period begins Wednesday, though teams were allowed to begin negotiating with agents at noon Monday during the league's legal tampering window. Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner joined Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media to discuss what the Cincinnati Bengals should prioritize. They reviewed how the legal tampering period works, noting that while contracts cannot be signed until 4 p.m. Wednesday, most agreements reached beforehand are finalized once the new league year opens. They also discussed the importance of teams being salary cap compliant before free agency begins, often leading to trades, restructures and releases. Regarding the Bengals, Skinner and Petraglia noted the team has approximately $47 million in cap space after declining to franchise-tag Trey Hendrickson. They identified defensive tackle, edge rusher, safety and linebacker as major needs. Skinner suggested interior pass rush — potentially targeting a player such as John Franklin-Myers — should be a priority, along with signing a veteran safety and possibly drafting one early. At quarterback, they discussed reports that Joe Flacco would prefer a starting opportunity but could return as Joe Burrow's backup if necessary. Jake Browning was not tendered and is expected to become an unrestricted free agent, though a return remains possible. On offense, they emphasized the need for depth at swing tackle and wide receiver. While the starting offensive line stayed healthy last season, they cautioned against relying on similar durability again. Both agreed the Bengals must balance free agency spending carefully while using the draft to address remaining needs.

Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner was joined by Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media to discuss several offseason topics surrounding the NFL and Cincinnati Bengals. That includes whether QB Joe Burrow will restructure his contract to impact free agent spending, the NFL Combine in Indianapolis and who the team may target on the market to help the roster.

CINCINNATI -- The Kansas City Chiefs just re-worked their massive contract with Patrick Mahomes to free up about $60 million in cap space to address their needs in free agency.

Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner was joined by Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media to discuss several offseason topic surrounding the NFL and Cincinnati Bengals.This episode focused heavily on what they believe is one of the biggest injustices in NFL history — Ken Anderson not being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They argued that Anderson's resume, including an MVP award, a Super Bowl appearance, multiple passing titles, and his role in helping pioneer the modern passing offense, makes him as deserving — if not more deserving — than several quarterbacks already enshrined. The conversation compared Anderson to Dan Fouts, Sonny Jurgensen, and Joe Namath, questioning inconsistencies in Hall of Fame voting standards. They also discussed other Bengals greats they believe have been overlooked, including Willie Anderson and Lamar Parrish.The discussion then shifted to the current Bengals, including coaching staff changes, the hiring of a new run game coordinator, and what that might mean schematically. They analyzed offseason priorities, emphasizing defensive line upgrades — particularly at nose tackle and interior pass rush — over splashy, expensive names like Maxx Crosby or Bradley Chubb. They also debated contract extensions for players like Chase Brown, Dax Hill, and DJ Turner. The episode closed with a look ahead to the NFL Combine and draft priorities, identifying the Bengals' most urgent need.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
