The #Bengals have restructured the contract of QB Joe Burrow, per me and @AdamSchefter, creating $10M in cap room. This move allows Cincy to operate without putting themselves in a tough spot cap wise.

This is due in part to the cash needed for the Dexter Lawrence trade.

[Andre Perrotta @andreperrotta13]

News of the Dexter Lawrence trade broke exactly one week ago.

So let's add Lawrence to the draft class:

Rd1 (10): Dexter Lawrence, DT - trade
Rd2 (41): Cashius Howell, Edge - TAMU
Rd3 (72): Tacario Davis, CB - Washington
Rd4 (128): Connor Lew, C - Auburn
Rd4 (140): Colbie Young, WR - Georgia
Rd6 (189): Brian Parker II, G - Duke
Rd7 (221): Jack Estries, TE - Texas
Rd7 (226): Landon Robinson, DT - Navy

Defensive line totally transformed with Lawrence – an elite, foundational piece. Bengals drafted players who should contribute significantly as rookies and some with promising upside.

Massive week for the Bengals.

Joe Burrow posted to his story after the draft:

"Got better" 😈🐅 #Bengals #WinNow

We have signed DT Dexter Lawrence II to a one-year contract extension through the 2028 season.

[Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report]

The #Bengals are expected to hammer out a significant long-term deal with DT Dexter Lawrence as part of the trade, once he passes his physical, per sources.

A very un-Bengals move … but this is a changing organization. And their actions confirm it.

A CHANGING ORGANIZATION

Shut that soft ass “Same old Bengals” shit up

OH MY GOD 🚨🚨🚨

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

#Giants star Dexter Lawrence is being traded to the #Bengals in a pre-Draft blockbuster that includes the No. 10 pick heading to the Giants, per me and @MikeGarafolo.

NYG gets premium draft compensation, Cincy gets a lynchpin, while Sexy Dexy gets a new, big-money extension.

Thanks for the memories, Logan 🧡🖤

[Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report]

The last time the Bengals had two WRs make the Pro Bowl together was in 2007 with Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh.

Now they've done it again with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

[Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report]

Sources: #Bengals WR Tee Higgins is being added to the Pro Bowl roster, replacing Ravens WR Zay Flowers.

Despite missing two games, Higgins had 59 catches for 846 yards and 11 TDs — tied for second in the NFL.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady is in Las Vegas for a second head coaching interview with the Raiders, per sources.
