Adam Butler should be trade deadline target for Bengals, says ESPN’s Ben Solak

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.
