Former Seattle Seahawks edge rusher Boye Mafe has reached an agreement on a three-year contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, according to his agent, Mike McCartney, as reported by Adam Schefter.
The Cincinnati Bengals are bolstering their defensive front by securing the services of the talented edge defender. Mafe spent the early part of his career with the Seattle Seahawks, where he became a key contributor to their pass-rushing rotation. This three-year deal ensures that the Bengals add a young, proven playmaker to their defensive unit as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season.
The agreement was confirmed by McCartney on Monday, marking a significant transition for Mafe as he moves from the NFC West to the AFC North. While the specific financial breakdown of the contract has not been made public at this time, the multi-year commitment signals the Bengals' intent to prioritize their edge rush depth and defensive stability.
Mafe's departure from Seattle comes as the Seahawks continue to reshape their roster. For Cincinnati, the acquisition represents a proactive move to support their defensive line with a high-upside pass rusher. Further details regarding the signing and official team confirmation are expected to follow shortly as the deal is finalized.
