Jake Browning stays on the Bengals’ roster, however the team will make a move to make sure more continuity inside its quarterback room. Logan Woodside is staying in Cincinnati.
Woodside agreed to re-sign with the Bengals, with the team announcing the move Wednesday morning. A veteran QB reserve, Woodside spent last season with the Bengals behind Joe Burrow and Browning. The veteran is seeking to play an eighth NFL season.
It will proceed Woodside’s reunion stint with the Bengals, who drafted him within the 2018 seventh round. A Toledo alum, Woodside had spent several seasons with the Titans before a Falcons stint. The Atlanta stay gave strategy to an April 2024 Cincinnati return; nearly a yr later, Woodside will proceed work with the Bengals.
Totaling just 14 pass attempts in seven NFL seasons, Woodside doesn’t exactly check in as certainly one of the better-known reserve QB options. But he has remained an everyday nonetheless. The Bengals re-signed him despite initially drafting him during Marvin Lewis‘ final yr in charge, and Zac Taylor will proceed to work with the seldom-used passer.
Woodside has never seen regular-season game motion as a Bengal, with the team initially cutting him months after the draft investment. The Titans added Woodside to their practice squad in 2018 and retained him as a Ryan Tannehill backup until November 2022. Despite Tannehill’s ankle injury that yr testing Tennessee’s depth, the team lost him from its P-squad to Atlanta. Coping with Marcus Mariota leaving the team after his late-season benching, the Falcons turned to Woodside as a Desmond Ridder backup.
Turning 30 earlier this yr, Woodside will almost definitely check in behind Browning once more on Cincinnati’s depth chart. The Bengals used Browning as their Burrow substitute in 2023, when he posted a formidable 70.4% completion rate at 8.0 yards per attempt. The team prolonged Browning on the identical day it reunited with Woodside last yr; Browning is signed through the 2025 season, but he may be retained as an RFA in 2026.
