Rose earned CFL All-Star honors this season after notching a league-best nine interceptions. In 2018, he recorded five interceptions for the BC Lions.
Rose played collegiately at New Mexico State University and was a college free agent for the Rams in 2016. He also spent time with the Colts before beginning his CFL career in 2017 with the Ottawa Redblacks.
Winston and the Bengals agreed to a two-year deal. He will not count on the team’s active roster until Feb. 3, the first business day after the Super Bowl.
Rose is the second defensive back to join the Bengals in as many days. The team announced Monday they had claimed cornerback Tony Brown on waivers from the Packers.
