Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner was joined by Rick Broering to discuss a variety of topics. Those topics include: *What will the Bengals do with the extra cap space from restructuring Joe Burrow's contract?  *Will the NCAA or Big 12 figure out a way to keep Brendan Sorsby off the field this season after he got his injunction from the court?  *Why are Reds fans at a breaking point?   *Bob Huggins to be inducted into Cincinnati athletics Hall of Fame *#AskSkinnyAnything

The Cincinnati Bengals created salary cap space this week by restructuring quarterback Joe Burrow's contract, a move that longtime observers say reflects an unusually aggressive offseason for the franchise. According to multiple reports, the restructuring frees up approximately $10 million in salary cap space and comes after the Bengals acquired All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence in a blockbuster trade. The move is notable because Cincinnati has historically avoided restructuring contracts to push salary cap charges into future seasons. “I think one of the biggest things for me, quite frankly, is that it shows this continues to be an atypical offseason,” Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner said to Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media. “From trading for Dexter Lawrence to overspending at a couple of positions of need, it continues that trend.” While some of the newly created cap space helps account for Lawrence's contract, Skinner said the move also gives the Bengals flexibility to address other roster needs, including adding a veteran linebacker or offensive tackle. The restructuring came just minutes before the Bengals announced the signing of second-round draft pick Cashius Howell, officially putting all seven members of the team's 2026 draft class under contract. Unlike a pay cut, a restructuring converts salary into a signing bonus that can be spread across future years of the contract. “They did the best of both worlds,” Skinner said. “It gives you the flexibility to still add to the roster today without just kicking the can way down the road.” Petraglia noted the Bengals could have freed up nearly twice as much cap space but chose a more measured approach. “By converting only enough salary to free up the $10 million, I think the Bengals showed a layer of restraint,” Petraglia said. “It's the best of both worlds for the Bengals in this particular case.” The discussion also highlighted several emerging storylines from organized team activities. One is veteran safety Kyle Dugger, who joined Cincinnati after stops with New England and Pittsburgh. Skinner described Dugger as a potentially valuable veteran presence and a candidate to contribute in defensive packages featuring three safeties. The pair also discussed rookie linebacker Boye Mafe, whose versatility could allow defensive coordinator Al Golden to deploy more varied fronts featuring players who can rush the passer or drop into coverage. Both agreed that Lawrence remains one of the most intriguing additions heading into training camp. “I cannot wait to see Dexter Lawrence line up against somebody else,” Skinner said. “He's just going to overwhelm some people at times.” Mandatory minicamp begins next week, when coaches and media will get a clearer picture of how the Bengals' revamped roster fits together heading into the 2026 season.

CINCINNATI -- The Bengals bit the bullet a bit and finally restructured Joe Burrow's contract to save them $10 million in cap space for this season, converting $10 million of his 2026 salary into a bonus. What impact will that have on the books and why fans should care? Could Kyle Dugger be an X-factor in the Bengals safety room this season with Bryan Cook and Jordan Battle?

The Bengals announced five new nominees Wednesday for the team's Ring of Honor ballot, adding former stars Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap, A.J. Green, Leon Hall and Andrew Whitworth ahead of the 2026 voting process. The additions join returning nominees Jim Breech, James Brooks, Cris Collinsworth, David Fulcher, Max Montoya, Bob Trumpy and Reggie Williams on the 12-player ballot that will be voted on by season ticket members beginning June 1. During their latest podcast, Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner and Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media discussed how the addition of several modern-era stars could split votes among newer candidates while longtime Bengals legends continue waiting for induction. Skinner said he believes Brooks and the late Trumpy remain deserving candidates, especially as the Bengals prepare to reduce future Ring of Honor classes from two annual inductees to one beginning in 2027. “James Brooks is honestly overdue,” Skinner said. The pair also discussed how several current Bengals players — including Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins — could eventually become future Ring of Honor candidates if the team breaks through with a Super Bowl title. Petraglia and Skinner also touched on the Bengals' unusually drama-free offseason, praising the organization's businesslike approach after major roster additions on defense and contract extensions for key offensive stars. The conversation also highlighted rookie defensive lineman Landon Robinson, with Skinner praising the former Navy standout's discipline, maturity and work ethic after recently graduating from the Naval Academy.

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - The Cincinnati Bengals' rookie class made an early impression during last week's minicamp, with first-year players showing both promise and areas for growth as the team transitions into the next phase of its offseason program. Rookie defensive end Cashius Howell stood out for his approach as much as his physical tools. Despite not yet signing his contract, Howell participated fully and emphasized his focus on football. “He looked the part and just how attentive he was really stood out,” Local 12 digital sports sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner said on the podcast with Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media. “He looked like a guy that really wanted to be coached.” Third-round pick Tacario Davis also drew attention — in part for his unusual build. The long, lanky cornerback has a notable wingspan that could translate into coverage advantages, though his frame remains a talking point early in camp. Seventh-round defensive lineman Landon Robinson, a Navy product, impressed with his size and strength. Skinner described him as “one giant slab,” noting his potential as a run-stuffer. While players with similar builds have not always succeeded at the NFL level, Robinson's background suggests a strong work ethic. “It's worth a seventh-round pick to find out,” Skinner said. “You're going to get the very best of him.” The Bengals appear focused on building depth along the defensive line, aiming to rotate players and wear down opposing offenses — a priority under defensive coordinator Al Golden. Offensively, fourth-round wide receiver Colbie Young remains a work in progress. Young showed inconsistency during early drills, including dropped passes, but his size — listed around 6-foot-4 — gives him a chance to develop into a downfield threat. “I want to see big plays from him,” Skinner said. “They need someone who can win 50-50 balls and stretch the field.” The rookie minicamp offered only a limited glimpse, consisting primarily of individual drills without full-team action. Still, the Bengals believe the class fits a broader plan focused on versatility and long-term development. That approach extends to the tight end position, where seventh-round pick Jack Endries could factor into future roster construction. With several veterans on short-term deals, the Bengals may be preparing for turnover at the position. The team now moves into Phase 2 of offseason workouts, which allows for on-field football activities without contact. Veterans are expected to gradually join the program, though attendance remains voluntary until mandatory minicamp in June. Star quarterback Joe Burrow has not yet participated in workouts, but Skinner downplayed any concern. “He's not missing anything,” Skinner said. “This is conditioning and light work. It's just not a big deal.” Attention will soon shift to the NFL schedule release, set for Thursday night. The Bengals are among teams that could be selected for an international game, with potential matchups involving Washington or Atlanta. For now, the focus remains on development — and early signs suggest the Bengals' latest draft class could provide both immediate depth and future impact.

CINCINNATI -- Phase 2 of the Bengals offseason workout program begins this week, with rookies joining veterans on the field and in the classroom to assimilate to the Bengals offseason preparations. Which rookies are expected to shine and which have room for improvement? The NFL schedule gets released on Thursday night. What should fans look for in the schedule release? Will Dax Hill wind up starting the season as one of the two starting outside corners or is the slot still a possibility? Richard Skinner of Local12 joins Trags to discuss.

The Bengals' 2026 NFL Draft reflected a clear strategy: build depth, target high-upside players and continue reshaping the roster around a strengthened defensive front. Cincinnati entered the draft without a first-round pick after trading for defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, then used seven selections over the final two days. Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner said the approach showed a focus on long-term development and roster balance. “I thought they did it. I thought it was really good,” Skinner said. “There was sound reasoning behind probably every pick.” The Bengals' top selections came on Day 2, when they drafted edge rusher Cashius Howell out of Texas A&M and cornerback Tacario Davis from Washington. Both are viewed as potential contributors, though Howell may begin as part of a deep rotation on the defensive line. “I like the player. I'm not so sure I love the pick,” Skinner said of Howell. “He's technically your fourth edge rusher at the moment.” The defensive line overhaul has been a central theme this offseason, with Cincinnati adding Lawrence, Boye Mafe and Jonathan Allen to create a deeper, more disruptive unit. "I think (the Bengals) got their value in Dexter Lawrence," said Mike Petraglia from CLNS Media. "I think that they addressed other things in this draft, in terms of their depth and the ability to have some added playmakers on defense. Looking back on it eight days later, I like the Dexter Lawrence move." The Bengals also addressed offensive line depth, selecting center Connor Lew in the fourth round and versatile lineman Brian Parker II in the sixth. “I think the value of this pick is just off the charts,” Skinner said of Lew, noting the 20-year-old's experience and upside. At wide receiver, Cincinnati added Colbie Young, a physically gifted prospect with limited college production. Skinner called the pick a traits-based gamble. “The traits are off the charts,” he said. “I just can't overlook the lack of production.” Day 3 selections focused on depth and developmental players, including tight end Jack Endries and Navy defensive tackle Landon Robinson. Skinner said Endries' competitive mindset stood out, recalling that the draftee said he would make every team that didn't draft him pay. Overall, Skinner graded the Bengals' draft an A-minus, citing a mix of immediate contributors and long-term prospects. "There is a high ceiling for all these guys. That's, I think the exciting part is these guys have a chance to, to take things to a whole different level," he said. "Literally every one of them, all the way down to, to Landon Robinson, the last pick they made at defensive tackle, there's a high ceiling for all these guys." "Here's another reason you get aggressive in free agency going into the draft," said Petraglia. "It allows you, I think, to take more chances on guys with higher ceilings, because if they don't work out, you do have, you address something else via free agency that presumably, uh, similar or the exact same position -- and I think the Bengals did that. I think they were more aggressive in free agency. They took a chance on higher end or guys with higher ceilings. Let's say that, put it that way. And I like that. I like that approach for a team that is trying to get more aggressive in that window with Joe Burrow." The Bengals may still look to add a veteran linebacker after the draft, as the position remains a question mark heading into the 2026 season.

CINCINNATI -- The Bengals took two offensive linemen, a wide receiver, a tight end and defensive tackle on Day 3 of the NFL Draft on Saturday. Add to that a defensive edge with their second round pick and a tall, rangy corner with great upside in Round 3 on Friday and the Bengals feel they've added great depth and some playmakers to a roster that is ready to return to the Super Bowl.
