2. Cincinnati Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals have a historically bad defense, and they must do something to fix the unit in the upcoming offseason. The offensive trio of Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins is fantastic, but you can’t bet on winning every game in shootout fashion. The defense needs to show up at some point, and Maxx Crosby could be the best way to quickly improve this roster.
Trey Hendrickson will almost certainly leave in free agency, and first-round pick Shemar Stewart hasn’t done much to inspire confidence. Maxx Crosby would immediately bring a base level of competence to the defensive line.
