History

Historical Context

After the Bengals signed nine undrafted free agents in 2026, they echo the Rams’ 1998 gamble on undrafted quarterback Kurt Warner. When starter Trent Green went down in the 1999 preseason, Warner seized the role, throwing 41 touchdowns and guiding St. Louis to a 13-3 record and a Super Bowl XXXIV win in 2000. The Bengals hope similar scouting can reshape their roster.
