The Cincinnati Bengals enter the offseason with plenty of newsworthy items surrounding the team.
One of the more interesting aspects fans should know about as the team starts to make roster moves, ponder extensions and free agents is the status of the salary cap around the team.
Before the playoffs start, it sure doesn’t hurt to keep sifting through some of the season-ending interviews with players. It’s also worth examining the possible future of one of the team’s staples over the last few years — running back Joe Mixon.
Here’s a look at the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for January 10.

DJ Reader might end up leaving in free agency, but he’s not worried at all about the future core of the team: “Joe, Germaine, Logan. You’ve got all these guys. Trey, Sam. These guys are still here. Teddy K (arras) is now a core guy. They’ve been through it. There’ll be people here for a long time that are a part of this. Young guys. CTB. (Cam Taylor-Britt). Guys who played and are now a part of the core. You can’t ever change that.”
