Bengals look to new leadership with additions of Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen

The Cincinnati Bengals are shifting their approach in free agency by adding Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen. Historically reluctant to sign players over 30, the team has invested in these defensive tackles as part of their strategy to enhance their championship contention. Lawrence, 28, and Allen, 31, are expected to bring experience and stability to the defense. Both players express confidence in their performance longevity. This change may signal a broader trend for the Bengals in considering older talent to improve their roster.
