CINCINNATI — Guard is arguably the top position Cincinnati needs to boost on offense when free agency hits the NFL this March. Veteran swingman Evan Brown is a great value option to go after following his one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals.

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - A former Bengals coach has found a new job with an AFC foe. Linebackers coach James Bettcher was let go by Cincinnati in early January along with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. Now Bettcher is reportedly re-joining Anarumo in the same role with the Indianapolis Colts.

The Indianapolis Colts made their first big offseason hire, hiring former Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo as their new defensive coordinator.  And now, they've begun filling Anarumo's defensive staff with a coach from his and the Colts' past.

ARIZONA -- Former Arizona Cardinals HC Steve Wilks will not be the Indianapolis Colts' defensive coordinator, as the organization is reportedly bringing on former Cincinnati Bengals DC Lou Anarumo.

Bettcher spent one season with the Colts and followed Bruce Arians when the latter was hired as the head coach for the Arizona Cardinals in 2013. Bettcher was the outside linebackers coach for two seasons (2013-2014) and then was promoted to defensive coordinator for three seasons (2015-2017) until Arians retired.
