Bengals seek edge rusher Matthew Judon amid roster changes

As the Cincinnati Bengals head into the offseason, they face significant challenges, particularly at the edge rusher position following the retirement of Sam Hubbard and the uncertain status of Trey Hendrickson, who may be traded. With only 36 sacks last season, the Bengals are looking to bolster their pass rush, and ESPN has identified them as a potential landing spot for veteran edge rusher Matthew Judon, who had a productive season with the Atlanta Falcons. Additionally, the team has re-signed Joseph Ossai but needs further depth at the position. While the Bengals have also secured long-term deals for star wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, their offensive line remains a concern after the release of Alex Cappa, with options like Lucas Patrick visiting for potential signing. The Bengals' defense struggled last season, prompting a coaching change, but they need to address both the pass rush and guard positions effectively in free agency to improve their performance next season.
