One of free agency's top interior offensive linemen is returning to Cincinnati.
The Bengals agreed to terms with left guard Clint Boling, reports NFL Media's Aditi Kinkhabwala, via a source who has spoken with the player.
A fourth-round selection in the 2011 NFL Draft, Boling has started 44 games over the past three years. He bounced back nicely from a torn ACL last season, even holding his own at right tackle for a couple of fill-in starts.
He was ranked No. 48 on Around The NFL's list of the Top 101 Free Agents.
Boling's return is welcome news for a strong ground attack featuring Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard.
