CINCINNATI — The Bengals continue to search for offensive line help in free agency. Cincinnati is one of multiple teams that have expressed interest in veteran interior lineman Brett Jones according to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Jones, 29, spent the past three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, who are interested in re-signing him.

Sources said #Vikings, who need a backup center, have interest in re-signing Brett Jones although nothing is considered imminent. Jones, who also plays guard, also a candidate to sign with Cincinnati or Houston (likely whichever one doesn't sign Nick Easton) and Dallas and Denver

Jones appeared in 15 games for the Vikings last season, making two starts. He was on the field for 137 offensive snaps according to Pro Football Focus, allowing one sack and two pressures.

The Bengals are expected to meet with Nick Easton this week. He was in Houston on Tuesday visiting the Texans.

Adding a versatile lineman like Jones or Easton would be smart, especially with center Trey Hopkins rehabbing from a torn ACL. While it would be a nice addition, signing one of them can't get in the way of adding a starting caliber right guard like Trai Turner or Larry Warford.
