Summary
A lot has changed for the Cincinnati Bengals since we first graded their free agency additions, most notably the huge swing to trade for Dexter Lawrence. They also re-signed Joe Flacco, signed Kyle Dugger, and added Cashius Howell and others in a draft class that we generally liked. With that in mind, it's time for Jake Liscow and James Rapien to grade the Bengals' entire offseason to date, which includes a major upgrade for veteran additions after the Lawrence trade that should make a significant difference for the defense, and improved depth around the roster that should improve resiliency in 2026.
