Over 20+ per. Less than what they would've had to pay Hendrickson and younger but much worse pass rushing. Means Shemar Stewart, who was basically only ever good in that one game against LSU, will have to pan out immediately.

Good move by the Bengals. As others said, they would have drafted a bum in a class that’s not so good this year for D-line talent . This move make's the bengals D better instantly with proven talent.

Sack numbers weren’t there for Lawrence last year but it’s clear digging into the numbers he was still a force

The Bengals also currently have no one on their current iDL that can rush the passer. It’s a pretty immediate upgrade for a huge weakness on the Bengals defense

Well yeah. You would hope so for the 10th pick of the draft.

The Bengals had the worst pass rush in the NFL last year. This move immediately fixes that problem. S


Pass rush don't mean shite if you don't have 2nd and 3rd levels guys who can cover long enough for it to get home. They literally just tried this with Hendrickson and their defense was still horrible. They need as many high level OL as they can get.

A new deal is part of the trade. $30m+ will be the final damage. The only question is if he passes Chris Jones for highest paid DT

The Bengals have made so many poor roster decisions over the years that I don’t think this one registers though

The Giants have to be over the moon. 12th highest paid DT wanting a top contract after a 31 tackle season is wild. 0.5 sacks and 7 hits? When he’s already below average against the run? Absolute boon to get the 10th overall pick

Exactly...and how many of those are defensive players?

I think this is a good move by the Bengals. They're trying to win now.

Nah. Joe needs to be part of this mess he helped create. His ego became so inflated he thought him and his buddy WRs could outdo the league. He’s good, but not that good. He has morphed into a celebrity
