Signed a one-year, $2.6 million restructured contract with the Bengals in May of 2025.
Wins starting job
Volson has won the Bengals' starting left guard job to begin the season, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports. "He ascended the whole training camp period. He played well, practiced well," said offensive coordinator Brian Callahan. "He continually got better. He showed the things we want to see from a starting guard for us. He's tough, he's physical, he's dependable...He's earned that job."
ANALYSIS
Volson was the Bengals' fourth-round pick in this year's draft, and he beat out last year's starter and second-round pick Jackson Carman for the job. The Steelers will almost certainly test him early in Week 1 as a potential weak point in the pass protection scheme for Joe Burrow.

Starting job or bust
Volson may need to win the starting left guard job for the Bengals in training camp to avoid being a cap casualty, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Even after agreeing to restructure his contract and take a reduced salary, the 26-year-old is set to make $3.1 million in 2025, and Cincinnati could save $2.5 million against the salary cap by waiving him. A fourth-round pick in the 2022 Draft, Volson will need to beat out 2025 third-round pick Dylan Fairchild to secure his spot.
