The Cincinnati Bengals are contemplating a substantial trade offer for Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby.

The Bengals had instead traded a first-round pick to the New York Giants for Dexter Lawrence and added another edge rusher in free agency. Injuries have already impacted the Bengals' roster, prompting them to reevaluate their defensive line strategy ahead of the upcoming season.
