The Bengals signed defensive tackle Chris Baker to a one-year deal on Thursday Phillip Gaines Jersey , their first free agent acquisition on defense under new coordinator Teryl Austin.

Baker played with Tampa Bay last season after spending six seasons with Washington and one each with Miami and Denver. The Broncos originally signed him as an undrafted free agent from Hampton.

The ninth-year veteran has started 53 games in the past four seasons. He has 12 career sacks.

He'll get a chance to become part of the Bengals' rotation on the defensive line. The defense finished 18th in the NFL in yards allowed last season under coordinator Paul Guenther, who left for the Raiders after the season. Austin was signed from Detroit.

Terrell Owens won't be present at the upcoming 2018 Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony, and he thus won't be acknowledged during the weekend, says executive director Joe Horrigan."The focus is on the guys who are here Ryan Kelly Jersey ,"聽Horrigan said in an interview wit Talk of Fame Sports Network.聽"There's no reason to bring him up as an individual. He's not here."The legendary wide receiver announced in June that he wouldn't attend the Hall of Fame ceremony in Canton, but would rather speak at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga - which he attended from 1993-95.On top of that, Horrigan promised that the NFL will mention his name and share T.O.'s photograph, but they won't be talking about him individually. Owens will receive the iconic gold jacket in the mail Eddie Yarbrough Jersey , said Horrigan.Owens accumulated the second most receiving yards of all-time (15,934, only trailing Jerry Rice), and is third all-time in touchdown receptions with 153. The six-time Pro Bowler was long overdue to reach the Hall of Fame Gary Zimmerman Jersey , and he had been critical about the selecting process prior to finally being announced as an inductee in 2018.Known for his large personality and excessive touchdown celebrations, Owens was one of the biggest characters during his career, which spanned from 1996-2010. His decision to not attend the Hall of Fame ceremony led to inevitable criticism, but Owens has a good reason as he goes back to his alma mater. Other 2018 Hall of Fame inductees include linebackers Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher Willie Young Jersey , and fellow legendary receiver Randy Moss. The latter and Owens were the two most dominant receivers during the 2000s, so it's fitting that they get to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame together.The only thing is, just one of them will be at the ceremony.
