The Bengals have signed free agent WR Antonio Bryant to a four-year deal worth $28 million, and the signing was designed specifically to help Carson Palmer pass more effectively. “We believe Antonio was the top receiving prospect among this year’s unrestricted free agents, and we are excited to have him with us,” said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. “… [W]e are moving forward to get better offensively, particularly in the passing game. As I’ve said, we need to keep putting key pieces around our very fine quarterback (Carson Palmer) to utilize his skills as much as we can.”
