Lawson quietly had a solid season in Buffalo, drumming up 6.5 sacks and standing tall against the run.

Add in 28 pressures and 12 hurries over 483 snaps to the sack count and it only looks more appealing. Keep in mind the former first-round pick only turns 26 over the summer.

Whispers of “bust” status chase Lawson given his status as a former 19th pick and Buffalo declined his fifth year. But the transition to hand-in-dirt edge gives him some interesting versatility as a depth piece in Cincinnati, where he’d be free of first-round expectations.
