Williams: Dexter Lawrence move shows Bengals finally willing to change
Jason Williams writes, "The Cincinnati Bengals are willing to change! Welcome to the modern NFL, Mike Brown."
The Cincinnati Bengals are willing to change. Dang, it feels good to write that. Say it with me, y'all: The Bengals are willing to change.
Trading a top-10 NFL Draft pick for stud defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence signals the seismic change lifelong Bengals fans have been begging for forever. The Bengals thought ahead for once, realized the few players they liked would be gone by the time their first-round pick would come up on Thursday night and they – gasp! – adapted.
They actually did what winning organizations have been doing for years. The Bengals took a big swing and made a move. And in doing so, it seems like trying to win a Super Bowl is finally a high priority for the family of late, great Bengals founder Paul Brown.
“Everybody was on the same page,” Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said. “We gotta go win. ” Welcome to the modern NFL, Mike Brown.
