An important signing for the Bengals defense.
Hubbard has 16.5 sacks in 44 games for the Bengals, who used a third-round pick on him in the 2018 NFL Draft.
“Sam is about all of the things we want to be about, and it was a priority to get this deal done,” Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said in a statement. “He’s been a tremendous leader on this team. He comes to work every single day, and we look forward to him being a leader for us for years to come.”
The Bengals are set to begin training camp this week.
