As NFL free agency began to swirl Monday, the two-time AFC finalist Bengals were true to their word when their first big move of the offseason kept one of their core stars in linebacker Germaine Pratt.

Pratt, whose clutch play has earned him the nickname "Playoff P.," confirmed that he had agreed to a three-year extension. The Bengals won't announce the deal until the contact is signed.
