The Bengals haven’t made a big splash on offense in free agency in quite a while. Most of their key weapons have all been developed through the draft. But the fact is, Jeremy Hill did not have the season they hoped for and Giovani Bernard, while a weapon, isn’t an every down back.

I don’t expect the Bengals to give up on their Hill/Bernard tandem in 2016, but Matt Forte would upgrade their offense and give Andy Dalton another weapon to utilize in the passing game. The Bengals would have to move at least one of their current running backs, but it’s something to ponder.

Odds of signing: 30 to 1
