Bengals' Kevin Minter: Inks one-year deal with Bengals

Minter signed a one-year contract with the Bengals on Saturday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Analysis:

Minter was a reliable cog in the Cardinals' linebacking corps for the first four years of his career and played at least 88 percent of the defensive snaps for them in each of the last two years. He's a sound tackler that'll be a welcome addition to the Begals' linebacking corps. It will be worth monitoring how Minter's addition affects the Bengals' approach in the draft, as many experts alluded to the possibility of Cincinnati targeting a linebacker in the early rounds.
