Bengals Sign 9 Players To Futures Deals

The Cincinnati Bengals announced that they’ve signed nine players future/reserve contracts for the 2018 season.

The full list includes:

1. LB Carl Bradford
2. K Jon Brown
3. LB Connor Harris
4. T Javarius Leamon
5. G Oni Omoile
6. TE Scott Orndoff
7. CB Sojourn Shelton
8. SS Robenson Therezie
9. WR Kermit Whitfield

Futures deals are essentially camp invites that will give players the opportunity to compete for roster spots during offseason workouts and training camp.

Brown, 25, wound up signing a three-year, $1.62 million contract with the Bengals as an undrafted free agent out of Louisville back in May of last year. He was, unfortunately, waived with an injury designation a few weeks later and he later reverted to the Bengals’ injured reserve before they cut him loose during the final week of the preseason.

Brown returned to the Bengals on a future/reserve contract this past January only to be cut loose at the start of training camp. Cincinnati re-signed him to their practice squad last week.

Brown has yet to appear in an NFL game.
