CINCINNATI — The Bengals are re-signing B.J. Hill to a three-year, $30 million contract that includes $15 million in year one according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Hill was a big part of Cincinnati's defense last season, finishing with 50 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 16 games.

The Bengals were unable to sign Larry Ogunjobi, who agreed to a three-year, $40.5 million deal with the Bears. The loss of one interior defensive linemen made it that much more important to re-sign Hill.

Hill turns 27 next month and can be a building block alongside DJ Reader and Trey Hendrickson.
