Jaguars To Sign CB Darqueze Dennard. Bengals' Darqueze Dennard Returns To Practice. Contract Details: Dennard, 49ers, Fins, Jets. Darqueze Derrell Dennard (born October 10, 1991) is an American football cornerback who is a free agent.

Any pundit that ranks Cincinnati in the bottom five should retire or change professions.Unfortunately having only one viable high quality receiving option (A.J. Green), no offensive line, and poor, lopsided anti-Cincinnati nfl officiating means it will be another long year for Bengals fans.The 2017 Cincinnati Bengals won 7 games with the same deficiencies.So 3-4 more wins is possible if the O-Line improves, John Ross shows up this season, Tyler Eifert is healthy for half the season (optimistic) and the secondary tightens up.THAT SAID 3-4 more losses is possible, too.
The have announced that cornerback after the two sides could not come to an agreement on the final terms of his contract. Dennard and the Jags on a three-year, $13.5 million contract that would pay him $6 million guaranteed, but since then things have fallen through.
Now, he heads back to the open market as an unrestricted free agent.Dennard was poised to fill the outside corner spot left by A.J. Bouye, who was traded to the earlier this offseason. Head coach Doug Marrone even commented on the signing prior to this debacle and showed confidence in Dennard's ability to play outside.″We feel really good about his skill level to play outside,' Marrone said earlier in the week, via. 'He's a press corner and wants to play outside. He wants to prove that he can do it, and we believe that he can, so it was a good fit for us. Hayden is our starting nickel corner.
I talked to D.J., and we're extremely happy with him in that spot.'
