CINCINNATI — The Bengals signed safety Brandon Wilson to a two-year contract extension through the 2022 season.

The 26-year-old has developed into one of the leagues best kick returners. He's averaged 27.8 yards per return on 45 attempts.

The extension is worth $4.625 million according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
