Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images | Geoff Burke-Imagn Images The Cincinnati Bengals are losing another key contributor from last season, this one being safety Tycen Anderson. According to Yanni Tragellis of CBS Cincinnati, Anderson is signing a one-year deal with the Denver Broncos.

Now entering his fifth NFL season, Anderson was originally a fifth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Toledo. After being marred by injuries over his first two seasons, Anderson rebounded to become a key member of the Bengalsโ€™ special teams units while appearing in all 34 games over the past two seasons. The 6-2, 209-pound DB logged just 65 career defensive snaps, 64 of which came this past season when the Bengals had arguably the worst safety unit in the NFL.

Anderson will now look to carve out a role in Denver for a team that just narrowly missed out on a Super Bowl appearance this past season. #Bengals free agent Tycen Anderson is signing a one year deal with the Denver Broncos, he tells me. The former fifth round pick became a backbone of Cincyโ€™s special teams unit in his four years with the Bengals.
