NFL Draft Decisions Impact Bengals and Other Teams

The Cincinnati Bengals face contract challenges with star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, who has expressed frustration over communication and may be traded if they draft a suitable edge rusher. The Bengals are expected to focus on defensive picks in the draft, potentially leading to a significant run on edge rushers if they select one with their 17th pick. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys are considering drafting Boston College edge-rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku to pair with Micah Parsons, following DeMarcus Lawrence's departure. The Tennessee Titans have signed linebacker Cody Barton from the Denver Broncos and are likely to draft Miami quarterback Cam Ward, necessitating offensive line improvements. The broader NFL draft context is affecting several teams as they manage cap space and roster decisions.
