Bengals

New Bengals DT Jonathan Allen believes the team has the pieces to compete for a championship and is excited about where he can fit into the current group.

“This is one of the few places I can compete for a Super Bowl and have a chance to showcase my talent,” Allen said, via the team’s website. “When you see what they have on the offensive side of the ball, that’s a dream for a defensive lineman. I think people would be lining up to play with a guy like Joe Burrow and the offense they have. Then the young guys you have on defense and the pieces you’re adding, I really think this team is going somewhere.”
