Latest Fantasy Rumors
Inks rookie deal Saturday
Knight, whom the Bengals selected out of South Carolina in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, signed his rookie deal Saturday and reported to training camp on time, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Knight's signing was noteworthy within the context of the team he'll be suiting up for, as prior to Saturday, he'd joined Shemar Stewart, the Bengals' first-round pick, as Cincinnati's last two rookie holdouts. NFL reporter Jordan Schultz separately reports Knight is receiving nearly 80 percent of his deal guaranteed at signing, making it the first time in NFL history that someone drafted as late as the 49th overall pick in the draft will have guaranteed money allocated in the fourth and final season of his rookie pact.
