Bengals’ Myles Murphy contract decision another sign of progress
Makes sense. Murphy didn’t show major signs of development until last year, and even then, the smallish sample size of 682 snaps isn’t a sure thing of future performance one way or another. He posted 5.5 sacks and 41 pressures, earning a 64.2 PFF grade (67th out of 115 edge defenders).

Bengals Floated as Trade Landing Spot for Giants Star Edge Rusher
The Cincinnati Bengals have made a lot of additions to their roster, specifically on defense, over the course of the offseason. As a result, that phase of the game looks better than it has in years. But they might not be done adding after trading for Dexter Lawrence.

Non-linebacker free agents Bengals should sign after NFL Draft
This is the first time in a long time (ever?) that the Bengals have truly spent to the salary cap hilt and may have forced themselves to (EUREKA!) restructure Joe Burrow’s contract. Who would’ve thought? Not me!

Bengals Called ‘Super Bowl Long Shot’ After Impressive Offseason
“Cincinnati already has the bones of a Super Bowl contender, with Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins headlining the offense. They slip just under our guidelines, however, because that pesky defense — coupled with poor injury luck — has kept them from reaching their full potential in the Burrow era,” Sullivan wrote.

How Cincinnati Bengals’ Dexter Lawrence trade became about team ownership
Then, on April 6, defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence went public asking for a trade from the New York Giants, and the tone of the conversation — and public perception of what Bengals ownership is capable of doing — changed forever.
