These old former high draft pick veterans seem to find a home in Cincy these days...
The Bengals continued their run of signing former first-round picks, agreeing to a one-year deal (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7800494/cincinnati-bengals-add-ex-dallas-cowboys-cb-terence-newman) with Cowboys free agent cornerback Terence Newman (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/4463/terence-newman), according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter (https://twitter.com/#%21/adamschefter).

Newman becomes the sixth former first-round pick signed by the Bengals in free agency this year, joining cornerbacks Adam Jones (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/8421/adam-jones) and Jason Allen (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/9602/jason-allen), safety Reggie Nelson (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/10465/reggie-nelson), defensive lineman Jamaal Anderson (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/11116/jamaal-anderson) and defensive end Derrick Harvey (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/11241/derrick-harvey).
Given that the Bengals have two first-round picks in this year's draft (Nos. 17 and 21), they could go into the season with 15 of them on their 53-man roster. That's 28 percent of the team. Cincinnati could trim that number down if the team ends up trading (http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/post/_/id/45692/are-the-bengals-trading-rivers-to-giants) linebacker Keith Rivers (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/11243/keith-rivers) to the New York Giants (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/nyg/new-york-giants).
