@AdamJacob87 @andreperrotta13 Neither is helping the next 2 seasons like Lawrence is
English
Both.
Still happy with Lawrence of course and it was a good move.
Just will be closely monitoring the careers of Downs and Bain
Andre Perrotta@andreperrotta13
At least one of Rueben Bain/Caleb Downs would have been available at 10.
English
Who did Veach think was going to draft Delane to warrant trading UP?? Loomis/NO at #8?
Andre Perrotta@andreperrotta13
Chiefs trade up for Mansoor Delane. Dont think anyone had Delane going before BOTH Bain and Downs. Post your mocks if you did...
English
@JustisIsBalance @andreperrotta13 He posted last night I believe. 3 yrs in the 85 to 90 million range
English
@andreperrotta13 Andre, you got a prediction on what his extension will look like?
English
Have to stop prematurely aging players.
Dexter Lawrence is 28 years old. He won't turn 29 until Nov. 12 which is past the halfway point of the regular season.
The 2026 season should be considered his Age-28 season.
Have read some articles/posts describing him as "approaching 30", and well, congrats on describing how aging works, but it's a sloppy description of his age rooted in bad faith to malign the trade.
English
I’d also be cool with trading next year’s first for Dexter Lawrence but idk how realistic that is
Draft Guy Jared@DraftGuyJared
If you are a Bengals fan and are like “man I wish we had more DTs right now, I really hope we draft some more next year” DO I GOT SOME NAMES FOR YOU I’ve watched 11 iDL so far this year, feel free to ask me questions about any of the HIGHLIGHTED names if you’re curious

New York’s NFL teams now control 25% of the top 16 picks in Thursday night’s draft.
The Giants are slated to pick 5th and 10th, the Jets 2nd and 16th.
English
@BennyWright9 @jjm329 @JordanRaanan Top ten pick is getting 15 mil a year so not saving that much either
English
@jjm329 @JordanRaanan We save the cap space, we get the 10 pick and a young player. I get it but Id rather have Dex too. Good deal for CIN.
English
It's Dexter Lawrence for the 10th overall pick straight up, per source. The Giants tried to get something done with Lawrence. Didn't happen. Couldn't turn this trade down with the Bengals.
English
@bengals_sans Because some of us have watched more than 3 years of football and or know history. Packers have like 3 official hall of fame running backs and another 2 that could probably argue their way in. Eddie isn’t even the best rb the packers had in the 21st century.

@juan0farc @BarnetBandit @AnnCoulter @RnaudBertrand There will always be a new bogeyman if you haven't figured that out yet. There's been one for the last 80 years
English
@BarnetBandit @AnnCoulter @RnaudBertrand Iran is the bogeyman that has kept us involved in the ME for 47 years.
Once that threat is neutralized it will be a massive benefit to Americans when it’s no longer a pretext for us to spend trillions of dollars to merely contain it for another few decades.

The objective of the war has become undoing the consequence of the war.
The stupidest war in history.

@John__Sheeran @JamesRapien And I think most people would (me included). Dominant interior is greater than dominant edge.
English
@JamesRapien @GetUpSix I would also take donald.
No one else has ever been him or may ever be him again.
My key words were “on average” because that pov is the only way we can accurately judge these things when godlike outliers enter the equation.
English
You’ll get no debate from me. How many interior disruptors are out there?
Eric England@p4triot1776
@JamesRapien edge rusher is the most overrated position in football. An inside pass rusher that can collapse the pocket is the most valuable, disruptive commodity on defense.
English
@John__Sheeran @JamesRapien Easy exercise, would you take peak Garret or peak Donald? That answers your question
English
@JamesRapien They require more attention and their production can be limited more. The top of one position typically outproduces the other for a reason.
English
Epenesa takes a "bet on yourself/get back to the market in 12 months" deal with CLE.
This is a nice value signing for CLE. Epenesa figures to be a solid rotational piece.
Would guess the base value here is between $3M-$3.5M.
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Former Bills DE A.J. Epenesa is signing a one-year deal worth up to $5 million with the Cleveland Browns, per source.
English
@Zoults @JoeGoodberry They definitely went on a heater at the end of the season
English
@JoeGoodberry Looking back at it, feels like that 2022 roster over performed
English
Comparing the current 2026 Bengals roster to the 2022 roster.
They still have time to add veterans and the draft will be heavily relied on to patch up the 2026 team, but it gives you an idea of where they're stronger and weaker.
Goodberry@JoeGoodberry
We want the Bengals roster to be better than 2021-2022 not just better than 2024-2025.
English
A third-round pick to Dallas for Osa. We can talk about the #Bengals and big swings and giving up major compensation for Crosby and the like, easy to see why those don't/shouldn't happen.
This is the type of trade a team in Cincinnati's position has to be in on.
English
@andreperrotta13 Does it even matter with this non-existent front office?
English
Quick guys, do the Bengals need to improve their non-existent interior pressure?
Akash Anavarathan@akashanav
New #49ers' DT Osa Odighizuwa was #11 in defensive pressures and #7 in pass-rush win rate among all defensive interior pass rushers in 2025. 49ers have Alfred Collins and C.J. West to stop the run and now have Osa to rush the passer, along Mykel Williams from the inside.

The Bearcats and Bengals are just putting Cincinnati THROUGH it.. SMH
