STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Turner's elite 2025 season positions him for franchise tag; likely stays with Bengals.

DJ Turner performed like a top-tier cornerback in 2025, his first complete season since being drafted in the second round out of Michigan in 2023. The source notes this elite performance gives the Bengals confidence to use the franchise tag on him next offseason if he continues at a high level, with the expectation he remains with Cincinnati through the 2027 season barring a disastrous decline or trade offer.
