UPGRADED: Bengals Defensive Line ASCENDS—Dexter Lawrence, Deep Rotation KEY in 2026 Plans [LXr6dOtO9p5]
After trading for Dexter Lawrence, the Cincinnati Bengals’ revamped defensive line is poised to become a strength of the team. Can this deep rotation, featuring additions like Boye Mafe, Jonathan Allen, and Cashius Howell, transform the Bengals’ defensive identity and provide the edge needed for a championship run? Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry break down a deep defensive line that will present interesting rotations, depth concerns at cornerback, offensive tackle, and wide receiver, and even get into a too-early preview of the Week 1 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
