Transcript

00:00The Bengals are signing running back Samadji P. Ryan to a two-year contract.

00:04Hi again, everyone.

00:05I'm James Rupin from the Locked on Bengals podcast, and it's a two-year, $3.8 million

00:11contract for Samadji P. Ryan.

00:12Look, this makes a ton of sense for the Bengals.

00:14They needed a running back.

00:15They needed someone that could pass for tech, that knows the offense, that's a good special

00:19teamer, that's a savvy veteran.

00:22It just makes a ton of sense.

00:23It doesn't mean that they're done addressing running back.

00:25I expect them to draft one as well.

00:28But if you're looking up veterans that can play behind Chase Brown, that can know the

00:32offense, that can catch out of the backfield, that can pass for tech for Joe Burrow, well,

00:37Samadji P. Ryan is certainly on that list.

00:39He spent three seasons with Joe Burrow, was a big part of the 2021 Super Bowl run, and

00:44the AFC championship team the year after.

00:47And so this is certainly a welcome sight for Joe Burrow in the Bengals.
