Dexter Lawrence is excited to be a new Cincinnati Bengal.

The Bengals acquired the veteran nose tackle by trading their 10th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the New York Giants. One of the most disruptive interior defensive linemen in the NFL, Lawrence joins a retooled Bengals defensive front looking to dramatically elevate its presence and return the Bengals to the playoffs.
