The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed linebacker Emmanuel Lamur to a one-year tender deal Wednesday.

Lamur’s contract had expired on March 10, making him a restricted free agent. He will make $2.356 million under the terms of his one-year deal.

The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Lamur is a fourth-year NFL player in 2015. He played in 14 games last season, finishing third on the team in tackles with 90. He had two interceptions and led the front seven in passes defensed (seven). He also played in the wild-card playoff loss at Indianapolis.

“Emmanuel is a player we see as still emerging,” Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said in a statement. “He has a great blend of size and athleticism. We had him tabbed for a big role two years ago and an injury held him back, but he was full go last year and fulfilled our expectations. We believe the best is yet to come.”
