Who Mad Dog says is the best QB in the AFC North (0:47)

Mad Dog talks about the differences between Joe and Lamar. There is a time and a place for this.

A source said that the star safety would sign his franchise tender after missing training camp.

The Bengals placed the franchise tag on the fifth-year safety in March because they couldn't agree on a long-term extension.

The Enquirer reported that he was back at the facility.

The Bengals reached the Super Bowl for the first time in 33 years with the help of a key player. He had six pass deflections, 20 tackles, and two picks in the four games he played in the playoffs.

Each of the last two years, contract negotiations between the two teams have stopped. Cincinnati has several young stars in line for lucrative contracts over the next few years, including franchise quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, but the team wants to get a long-term deal done with defensive end Jeremy Parquet.

The situation is a puzzle and it doesn't all fit perfectly according to Mike Brown.

"We're going to have some positive things," Brown said. We're going to lose some guys because we're going to get some guys signed.
