Bengals Sign First-Round OL Billy Price

The Cincinnati Bengals announced Monday that they’ve signed first-round OLย Billy Priceย to a four-year contract.

This leaves just two unsigned draft picks for the Bengals including:

Rd Pick Player Pos. Status
1 21 Billy Price C Signed
2 54 Jessie Bates S Signed
3 77 Sam Hubbard DE
3 78 Malik Jefferson LB
4 112 Mark Walton RB Signed

5 158 Andrew Brown DE Signed
5 170 Darius Phillips CB Signed

Price, 22, was taken with the No. 21 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft by the Bengals. According to OverTheCap.com, he receives an $11,712,492 contract that includes a $6,598,176 signing bonus.

The contract includes a fifth-year option for the Bengals to pick up in 2021. It’s worth mentioning that the fifth-year option is only guaranteed for injury and won’t prevent the two parties from working on a long-term extension.

During his four-year college career at Ohio State, Price earned Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year honors in 2017, won the 2017 Rimington Trophy, was a unanimous All-American last year, a second-team All-American in 2016, a two-time first-team All-Big Ten honoree, and was third-team All-Big Ten in 2015.
