Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Cincinnati Bengals are re-signing durable defensive tackle B.J. Hill to a three-year, $33 million deal, multiple outlets reported Monday.

Hill, who turns 30 next month, has only missed two of a possible 114 games since breaking into the league as a third-round pick of the New York Giants in 2018.

He has recorded 23.5 sacks, 66 quarterback hits, 341 tackles, 16 passes defensed, 4 fumble recoveries and a pair of interceptions while making 67 starts for the Giants (2018-20) and Bengals.

According to NFL Next Gen Stats, he ranked ninth among all defensive tackles and nose tackles last season in run stop win rate at 37 percent.

The Bengals acquired Hill in an August 2021 trade that sent former first-round offensive lineman Billy Price to the Giants.

Giants trading DL B.J. Hill to Bengals for C Billy Price

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The New York Giants and Cincinnati Bengals are finalizing a trade to swap linemen, with DL B.J. Hill going to Cincy in exchange for center Billy Price, Giants head coach Joe Judge confirmed Monday.

Judge would not discuss the trade until the deal is finalized.

Hill, 26, has 7.5 career sacks in 48 games (17 starts) for the Giants, who selected him in the third round of the 2018 draft. He has played in every game for the Giants.

Price, also 26, is a former first-round pick, taken No. 21 overall by the Bengals in 2018. He has played in 42 games (19 starts) for Cincinnati but lost his position battle to Trey Hopkins.

Price gives the Giants depth in the interior of their offensive line. They also signed free agent guard Ted Larsen recently.
