Bengals Rumors On SIGNING Deebo Samuel + Joe Mixon Likely To Retire

Should the Cincinnati Bengals make a move for Deebo Samuel before the 2026 NFL season? Rumors have linked the former All-Pro wide receiver to Cincinnati, but would adding Samuel actually improve the Bengals—or would it be an unnecessary splash?

In this video, we break down whether Deebo Samuel makes sense as a potential WR3 behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, how he would fit into Zac Taylor's offense, and why the Bengals may be better off investing in positions like linebacker, cornerback, or offensive line instead. We also discuss Samuel's recent production, his injury history, and why the market for the veteran receiver has been surprisingly quiet.

Plus, we reflect on the career of Joe Mixon after reports surfaced that the longtime Bengals running back has told former teammates he's planning to retire following a foot injury that sidelined him last season. While nothing is official, we look back at Mixon's impact in Cincinnati, his biggest moments during the Bengals' Super Bowl run, his legacy in franchise history, and whether he deserves serious Ring of Honor consideration.
