Bengals Roster Moves: Cincinnati Signs Gary Brightwell To Practice Squad, No Deal For Xavien Howard
The Bengals are adding another running back, this time it is Gary Brightwell who was drafted by the New York Giants in 2021 and most recently played for the Cleveland Browns. Brightwell will be added to the practice squad for now but at some point very well could be called up to the active roster as he possesses lots of special teams value.

Grade the Brightwell signing: A, B, C, D or F
Hate this team
F
Xavien Howard wanted about 8-10 million just to fill in for daxton hill that's ridiculous Xavien had a down year last year
We need a pass rusher
Woh day
i dont think running backs play defence
Get him out of here
Just bring Eli back
He’s going to the practice squad. Stop crying
I give this signing a grade of F, as in Flippin’ Stupid!! The front office needs to get off their arses and open the check book and sign some high end defensive talent!!
And on that note, Fire the entire coaching staff and the GM. Pat Bill B $ million and let him bring n the coaching staff he chooses. Additionally he will be a much better FM that DT!
WHO-DEY…Hey Stoney
These guys are dumb as a box of rocks
Xavien Howard would have helped but he probably thinks he worth way more than he is at 32 yrs old
B
Yea sign another rb when we already traded for 1 as well as need defense wayyy more
XAVIEN HOWARD
For the love of God, we need a DE just give me that and I will be happy.

What a waste sorry ass front office you set this organization to where no real legit players want to play for Cincinnati. This front office just keeps on making our city look piss poor.
Nobody wants to play for this staff look what joe mix said about them the only signings there gonna be doing is what they just did expect nothing else it's there MO
Bring back burfick😂
F
Cheap ass organization
When Xaier Howard turns this team down then you know this team is a waist of time and bottom of the bottom. Geez.
Where is the defense of players mannnnnn
A because he can play both offense and defense! Ppl that's saying he's trash know nothing about him I'm #TeamBrightwell all day!
Brightwell???? Who???? I had to look this one up. We sifted through the dirt under the barrel for this guy. Total of 164 yards and 1 TD IN 4 seasons. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 cream of the crop.
Maybe he won't fumble the ball on his first snap.
I pretty sure the only move they are going to make is the one that takes them right to the bottom of the pile and out of the playoffs.
New D. C. Next year.
B
I just read an article about how the bengals front office is never going to change and that they will always be the same bengals. Super disappointed with the owners of this front office and it’s getting old.
We are worse than we were in the 2021 season…let that sink in.
