The Bengals promoted Steven Radicevic, Mike Potts, and Trey Brown to assistant general manager under director of player personnel and de facto general manager Duke Tobin.
“Steve, Mike and Trey work in all areas of the club and assist me in every aspect,” said Tobin (via senior team writer Geoff Hobson). “They’re highly capable. They’re impactful in all areas of personnel. We felt like this title fit their role with us.”
Despite the new titles, Cincinnati’s new trio of assistant GMs will largely have the same job descriptions. Radicevic, who was the co-director of college scouting with Potts, will continue to lead the Bengals’ pro scouting operation and assist in contract negotiations. Potts oversees the team’s college scouting and draft processes while also contributing to their pro personnel strategy. He also works to incorporate the Bengals’ analytics team into the front office’s decision-making process.
Brown, formerly a senior player personnel executive, has a hand in all aspects of Cincinnati’s roster management. He also uses his extensive history as a scout to contribute to the Bengals’ pro and college player evaluations. Brown is widely considered to be a future general manager after interviewing for such a position with four different teams in the last two years.
The Bengals also made a number of moves in their scouting department. Andrew Johnson was promoted from scout to scouting executive and will continue to scout players across the NCAA, the NFL, and other professional leagues. The team also added two scouts: Tyler Ramsey and Josh Hinch. Ramsey started his career with Seattle and most recently worked as the Panthers’ assistant director of pro player personnel from 2022 to 2023. He will scout college players and track the rosters of other NFL teams for the Bengals. Hinch formerly worked for the Patriots’ pro and college personnel departments and will assist in pro and college scouting in Cincinnati.
