Cincinnati Bengals middle linebacker Germaine Pratt signed a three-year, $21 million deal on Monday.

Pratt had 99 tackles last season and said in January he was eager to test the open market to gauge his worth, in part because he didn’t play in the base third-down defense.

But he’s back with the Bengals, who drafted him in the third round out of North Carolina State in 2019.

Pratt, who turns 27 in May, has 355 career tackles and three interceptions in 62 games (54 starts).
