The Cincinnati Bengals are actively exploring trade options as the NFL deadline approaches, according to insider Dianna Russini. With confidence in their offense led by Joe Burrow, the team is looking to bolster their aging defense, particularly in the cornerback and defensive line positions.

Recent injuries to key offensive players, including tight end Erick All Jr. and running back Zack Moss, have prompted the Bengals to consider additional moves. The team is in serious discussions with another franchise, indicating a proactive approach to improving their roster.
