The Cincinnati Bengals’ defensive line is coming around, thanks to the return of Sheldon Rankins and the reemergence of Sam Hubbard.
But it’s still not a strength of the team.
That’s why ESPN’s Ben Solak thinks the Bengals should trade for Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Adam Butler before the trade deadline.
Here’s what Solak wrote:
If the Bengals are indeed adding at the trade deadline, it must mean they’re making a playoff push ... which must mean their run defense needs immediate reinforcements. Enter Butler, who is on a cheap one-year deal and is good for 40 or so snaps per game with some splashy run defense.
