## Resource

ESPN’s Seth Walder isn’t impressed with the Bengals’ offseason defense overhaul, calling it a failing grade despite new signings like DJ Reader and Jonathan Allen. Walder questions their recent production, suggesting both players may be past their primes. While front office moves aim to strengthen the unit, analysts like Walder offer data-driven critiques sparking fan debate. With cap space still available, the Bengals must decide if they’ll pivot or trust their current roster — because ultimately, the real test will be on the field when the season kicks off.
