CINCINNATI, Ohio (WDTN) – With arguably the most important off-season ever for the Bengals and NFL free agency on the horizon, the team inked its first extension of 2025 on Tuesday.
The Bengals signed punter Ryan Rehkow to a two-year contract extension through the 2026 season.
Rehkow, who will be a second-year player in 2025, originally signed with the Bengals as a free agent during the ’24 offseason.
He played in all 17 games as a rookie and punted 53 times for 2603 yards. His gross punting average (49.1) and net average (42.9) each set a Bengals single-season record and led all rookies in 2024.
In his career debut on Sept. 8 vs. New England, he set an NFL single-game record with 64.5 yards per punt (minimum four attempts), and set a team record for longest punt (80 yards).
