Wide receiver Chris Henry, the Bengals' third-round pick, signed a five-year deal. Henry, 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds, scored a school-record 12 touchdowns last season and had a single-game record 209 yards receiving against Syracuse the previous year.

The Cincinnati Bengals signed fifth-round pick Adam Kieft to a three-year deal on Wednesday. Kieft, an offensive tackle, is the second 2005 pick to sign with the Bengals. The other is seventh-rounder Jonathan Fanene, a defensive end from Utah.

The Cincinnati Bengals are talking a big game this year and the fans are apparently listening. The first four home games of the regular season are "essentially sellouts," the Bengals say, virtually ensuring that they will be telecast live locally.

In a supplemental draft that promises some talent, the Cincinnati Bengals have their eyes on Manuel Wright of USC, one of the five players eligible for the July draft. "He's a big, athletic guy who is a good prospect," said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. "He's not played a lot of football, but when he's played he's done some good things. He's not been a full-time player and they've had some good players there and there are some chinks in the armor."

The Cincinnati Bengals signed rookie defensive end Jonathan Fanene to a three-year contract on Friday. Listed at 6 feet 4, 291 pounds, Fanene played in 11 games with 10 starts for Utah in 2004.
