NFL free agency is here for the Cincinnati Bengals, who will look to bolster a roster that came just one game short of making the NFL Playoffs last season. This is where we will keep track of all the news surrounding the Bengals and their movement during this time.

The Cincinnati Bengals enter free agency on Wednesday, March 12 with money to spend, needs to fill and contract extensions to iron out. Like the rest of the NFL, the Bengals really got started during free agency's legal tampering window, which started on Monday.

With the first part of free agency in the books, it's a good time to put together a seven-round mock for the Bengals. For this mock, we are using Pro Football Focus' mock draft simulator. Starks could be a legitimate top-10 talent in this draft class and safety is still a key need as the Bengals look to revamp their defense with new defensive coordinator Al Golden.

After getting a couple extensions done before the madness ensued, the Bengals took a rather surprising approach to start free agency. A few holes were filled, but many more remain and time pressing on does not make matters easier.
