Locked On Bengals - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals kicked off mandatory minicamp as Joe Burrow stayed late on day 1 to keep working with his receivers. Josh Newton’s impressive interception and Charlie Jones’s highlight grab stood out, and Bralyn Lux got his shot in the slot battle.

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry break down minicamp battles, the cornerback shuffle, and all of the highlights and notes  from minicamp, including a spectacular Mike Gesicki catch. Plus, we discussed the takeaways from Katie Blackburn's meeting with the media on Monday, including comments on the draft, contract extensions, and Zac Taylor's future, and Elizabeth and Caroline Blackburn’s promotions.

Joe Burrow is one of, if not the best, quarterbacks in the NFL. When it comes to Burrow as a clutch quarterback, that's when the conversation gets really interesting.

 

Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero discuss Burrow's play in high-leverage moments and on the NFL's biggest stages. They also discuss how for those that argue he's not clutch that maybe he's actually just unlucky.

 

Burrow's contract was restructured this week, and it's yet another modernization by the Bengals' organization since they drafted their franchise quarterback. More importantly, the Bengals continued to solidify their all-in approach to this season.

 

Is there any way Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase can be better in 2026? Alex and Coach break down how that could happen with the NFL's best quarterback-wide receiver combo.

A day after the Cincinnati Bengals broke precedent and restructured Joe Burrow to create $10 million in cap space. What does the move signal for upcoming extension talks? Jake Liscow is joined by Mike Petraglia to unpack the significance for DJ Turner’s contract negotiations and TJ Slaton’s chance to stick on the roster as vital nose tackle depth, while addressing speculation around potential linebacker or swing tackle signings.

The episode also spotlights Kyle Dugger’s potential as a sneaky-impact defensive addition and explores the energizing culture shift under defensive coordinator Al Golden. Don’t miss this analysis of the evolving Bengals defense.
