Bengals acquire Dexter Lawrence, receive praise from AFC executive

The Cincinnati Bengals traded for defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence from the New York Giants, receiving acclaim from an AFC executive for the savvy acquisition. The trade follows Lawrence's one-year, $28-million extension with the Bengals, which has freed up nearly $5 million in cap space for 2026. Lawrence is currently participating in his first minicamp with the Bengals after joining the team just before the NFL draft party. His performance in this period will be closely monitored as the team builds its defense around him.
