Bengals don't sound like a team looking for another RB

The Cincinnati Bengals continue to sound done with free agency now that the NFL draft looms closer.

While it might surprise some, the Bengals sound done at guard in free agency. And that's a trend that also extends to the running back position, it seems.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor specifically called out Chase Brown and Samaje Perine while discussing the position at league meetings.

"You've got a really good one-two punch," Taylor said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. "They can both carry the ball. They can both protect, they can both catch the ball in the backfield. They both have a great relationship with Joe and what he expects and needs. And so you've got those two guys right there to start that room with and then we'll just see where it goes from there."

Not mentioned there is Zack Moss, who still remains a question mark after his neck injury last year. The team bringing back Perine specifically seemed to signal an outright swap there.

Overall, this vibes as the Bengals being more than comfortable with Brown and Perine as the one-two punch, leaving the draft as a developmental tool for a third back at some point.
