Jason Fitzgerald of Over The Cap on Geno Stone’s new contract: “The Bengals and S Geno Stone have agreed on a contract modification that should guarantee Stone’s position with the Bengals this year per a source with knowledge of the contract. Stone, who was scheduled to earn $6.475 million this year, agreed to a one year $4.9 million contract, a reduction in salary of $1.575 million. The Bengals guaranteed $1.5 million of the new contract, which given the Bengals history is a virtual guarantee on his entire year’s salary.”

Logan Wilson on Bengals defense: “Less thinking. Just reacting, doing what you've been doing your whole life. Sometimes at this level you can make things more complex than they need to be. Sometimes you just have to understand that the guys on the other side of the ball get paid to do what they do, too, and sometimes they're gonna get us in certain ways and not always try to be in the perfect call. It’s just understanding the weaknesses if you're in a certain call and how they can challenge you in that certain call. That's what allows you to play more free.”
