DT Dexter Lawrence II’s ‘Fire’ Will Be Crucial to Reviving Bengals’ Struggling Defense in 2026
Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II aims to repay the Cincinnati Bengals for their investment after being traded for the No. 10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Following a successful physical, he signed a one-year, $28 million extension, keeping him with the team through 2028. Lawrence expressed gratitude for the trade and contract, emphasizing his passion for contributing to the team’s success. Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin highlighted Lawrence’s potential to elevate the defense, which struggled in 2025. Despite a decline in his performance last season due to injury, Lawrence is motivated to regain his elite form.
