After adding Dexter Lawrence in a trade this offseason, it's clear the Bengals are serious contenders that could continue to make splash moves from now until the trade deadline. Barring any injuries, the Bengals have all of their big needs on the defensive side of the ball. But, with safety, defensive tackle, and edge rusher set, only cornerback and linebacker could possibly use some help.
Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report agrees and is predicting the Bengals to go out and acquire Miami Dolphins All-Pro linebacker, Jordyn Brooks. However, there is one issue: Davenport's prediction features a trade package that makes no sense. Bengals trade prediction would make no sense despite landing All-Pro LB "Cincinnati Bengals receive: LB Jordyn Brooks.
Miami Dolphins receive: 2027 Round 2 pick, 2028 Round 4 pick," Davenport predicts. The Bengals are an obvious team in need of a veteran linebacker, and the Dolphins are a team that's shown a willingness to trade away some of their veterans, which was best seen with the Jaylen Waddle trade. There is no questioning the fit and theory of sending Brooks from the Dolphins to the Bengals.
