Kevin Huber has played football in just one city since high school, and the Bengals saw to it that wasn’t going to chance despite another team expressing interest in their longtime punter.
Cincinnati agreed to a three-year deal to keep Huber on Wednesday, Jim Owczarski of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. The Bears had shown interest in prying Huber away, with Owczarski calling it a “strong push” to lure the specialist to the Windy City, but he will stay in his home town.
A 2014 Pro Bowler, Huber has been the Bengals’ punter since the 2009 season. The 32-year-old former Cincinnati Bearcat has been part of all six Bengals playoff appearances in that span.
