CINCINNATI — The Bengals are signing B.J. Hill to a three-year, $33 million contract according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The contract includes $16 million guaranteed.

Hill had 56 tackles (seven for loss) and three sacks last season. The Bengals signed him to a three-year, $30 million deal after the 2021 season. Now they get him back for similiar numbers.

Hill is a reliable piece of the defense. He's appeared in at least 15 games in each of his four seasons with the Bengals and played at least 70% of the defensive snaps in each of the past three years.

The veteran is now under contract for his age 30, 31 and 32 seasons.

He gives the Bengals a proven and durable defensive tackle that can help young guys like Kris Jenkins Jr. and McKinnley Jackson, but also play a significant amount of snaps on the field.

Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki was in the middle of his news conference when he was informed Hill had agreed to terms, causing him to pound the dais in excitement.

"Look at that. Look at that. Everybody's happy," he said.

"Obviously, the player he is, but I think even more importantly than that is the guy he is in the locker room, the leader he is," Gesicki added when asked why it made him so happy. "The city loves him, the fans love him, everybody in the locker room loves him. So that's a huge piece. That's super exciting to get back for the Bengals organization. I'm happy for B.J., I'm happy for his family and I'm sure that he was compensated well. So good for him."
