Bengals reveal jersey numbers for free agent additions

It’s that annual lull in the NFL news schedule before the draft that creates headline items out of otherwise mundane things.

Case in point, the Cincinnati Bengals making waves by annocuing the official jersey numbers of the new free-agent arrivals.

There is one notable talking point when it comes to the numbers, though — safety Vonn Bell returns to his tried-and-true No. 24 in the secondary. There aren’t any other surprises on this front, though fans could go to the team’s roster page and see which vacant numbers could be filled by the rookie draft class soon enough.

Otherwise, here’s a quick, by-the-numbers look at the, well, numbers for free-agent arrivals such as Sheldon Rankins, Mike Gesicki and more.
