He&#8217;s struggled since the Commanders took him in the first round (16th overall) in the 2023 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_xgpzrasg8\">The Bengals were intrigued by Forbes during the draft process and seriously would&#8217;ve considered him with the 28th overall pick if he had fallen to them in the 2023 NFL Draft, sources familiar with the situation confirmed at the time.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_1ddn2f6hl\">They thought Forbes would be long gone on draft day and he was after Washington took him 12 picks ahead of the Bengals. He&#8217;s a skinny corner, but made a ton of plays in college, finishing with 14 interceptions and six pick-sixes.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_gvioy7fxp\">The Commanders shopped Forbes at the deadline, but no one dealt for him. Now he&#8217;s subject to waivers.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_o877oyb1n\">Forbes has 45 tackles, 12 passes defensed and two interceptions in 19 NFL games.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_8tfis53n6\">Forbes has great length, speed (4.35 40-yard dash) and made a ton of plays in college, but has struggled in his first two NFL seasons.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_a2o0ac63s\">Maybe a change of scenery is exactly what he needs to bounce back after a poor start to his NFL career.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_z04c1zphh\">Forbes would give the Bengals another young cornerback behind Cam Taylor-Britt and Josh Newton. With DJ Turner II and Dax Hill out for the season, why not take a flier on a player that was a top 20 draft pick less than 20 months ago?<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_lw8k7v613\"><strong>For more on the Bengals,\u00a0<\/strong>subscribe to our YouTube Channel<strong> and watch the video below:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bengals vs. Steelers: Five Things to WATCH For + Score Prediction | NFL Week 13\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gYJ8DSek8Ns?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This would make a ton of sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5007,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cincinnati-bengals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
