The Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Chargers are reportedly interested in signing Green Bay Packers free agent edge rusher Kingsley Enagbare, who is projected to land a two-year, $11.8 million contract in free agency.

Why it matters

Both the Bengals and Chargers have needs at edge rusher, with the Bengals potentially losing Trey Hendrickson and the Chargers uncertain about the futures of Khalil Mack and Odafe Oweh. Enagbare could provide valuable depth and rotational pass-rushing ability for either team.

The details

Enagbare, 26, has tallied 11.5 sacks and 24-25 pressures in each of his four NFL seasons with the Packers. While not an elite edge rusher, he could be a solid addition for teams looking to bolster their pass-rush.

  • Enagbare is set to become an unrestricted free agent on March 15, 2026.
