Washington Pass Rusher Ryan Kerrigan Visits Cincinnati, Leaves Without A Deal
Ryan Kerrigan breezed through the first round of free agency without many teams showing interest, but that could change after a visit with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Reports say that Kerrigan, the all-time sack leader for Washington, spoke to the Bengals on Wednesday but left the Queen City without a new deal.
The 32-year-old is looking for a team that can give him more playing time in 2021. Last season, he played behind young studs Chase Young and Montez Sweat.
At the end of the day, Kerrigan played just 38 percent of the snaps for the Washington Football Team.
Kerrigan, who was the team's first-round pick back in 2011, put up 5.5 sacks during the 2020 season, the same number he had in 2019.
It didn't take him long to break Dexter Manley’s franchise record for sacks though. He did so in Week One of 2020 against the Eagles.
If the Bengals don't take Kerrigan up on his offer to play in Cincinnati, it might take a while for the pass rusher to get a deal. He'll likely have to wait out a number of other players also looking for deals.
