Allen won’t go that far, but it certainly looks to be a promotion. “I definitely don’t want to be the COVID-stand-in-the-back-watch guy anymore." Don Wright/AP Photos Quick Hits From Zac: Burrow On Pace; Jonah Staying At LT Bengals head coach Zac Taylor hasn’t seen any video of Joe Burrow running or throwing, but he says franchise quarterback is on pace during his rehab for a reconstructed knee. Aaron Doster/AP Photos Bengals Re-Sign Quarterback Brandon Allen Brandon Allen, a fifth-year player in 2021, originally joined the Bengals last August as a free agent. He went on to play in five games (all starts) and complete 90 of 142 passes for 925 yards, five TDs and four INTs (82.0 rating). Emilee Chinn/AP Photos Bengals Keep Tag, Flexibility As Free Agency Looms The Bengals showed a glimpse of the cards they’re going to play in free agency next week when Tuesday’s deadline to issue the franchise designation came and went. They didn’t use it as they cemented rare financial flexibility in a league facing a reduced salary cap for the first time in history.
