Bengals fans react to Larry Ogunjobi choosing Steelers in free agency
Larry Ogunjobi returning to the Cincinnati Bengals seemed to have at least a decent chance of happening.
Ogunjobi had a big-money deal with the Bears fall through in free agency and the Bengals still have a need. Him returning to the same spot that helped him break out in the first place made some sense.
Instead…Ogunjobi just signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers — and Bengals fans are a bit miffed about the whole ordeal.
Here’s how Bengals fans reacted to Ogunjobi still being available, then signing with the Steelers, which means they’ll see him twice next year in the AFC North, anyway.

We want him back!!! Take the failed physical as a sign from football gods saying RUN IT BACK!!— Christineee (@christineee4646) June 20, 2022
Don’t know that I’m overwhelmed with Sheldon Richardson, but he’s by far the best interior pass rusher left on the market.
Larry Ogunjobi going off the market certainly hurts.
If I’m the #Bengals, I’m probably waiting around for a 3T to become a cap causality or roster snub.

Great to see Larry Ogunjobi find a landing spot. Not so great for #Bengals fans to see him going to that particular team. https://t.co/1ZWcHdJbQF

I feel like Larry Ogunjobi has always been a little bit overrated. 🤷♂️ maybe there’s a reason this will be his third different AFC North team. Plus, BJ Hill 💪 Bengals should be just fine up front. https://t.co/BwHeIya10m

Sadly Larry Ogunjobi is now the enemy. I loved what he did with the Bengals, but he moved on, and as fans we have to move on as well. We respected him & wanted him back, but he chose to go to a rival. Now I hope guys like Karras & Cappa bury him every snap. It is what it is.
