The buzz around Tycen Anderson continues as the Broncos and Bengals show keen interest in the talented safety. Despite earlier reports, Anderson hasn't inked a one-year deal with Denver just yet.
At 26, Anderson has made quite a mark since his college days at Toledo, where he was a standout performer. He earned second-team All-MAC honors in 2020 and stepped it up to first-team in 2021. His consistent excellence caught the Bengals' eye, leading to his selection in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Anderson wrapped up his rookie contract-a four-year, nearly $4 million deal with a tidy signing bonus-showcasing his skills on the field. Over his college career, he played 55 games, starting 27 of them, and racked up an impressive stat line: 237 tackles, nine tackles for loss, two sacks, a forced fumble, two interceptions, and 21 pass deflections.
In the 2026 season, Anderson suited up for all 17 games with the Bengals, making 23 tackles and defending one pass. His performance has clearly turned heads, and both Denver and Cincinnati are eager to secure his talents moving forward. Keep an eye on this developing situation as teams position themselves for the upcoming season.
