The Cincinnati Bengals usually keep it pretty simple during the NFL draft when it comes to trades. Going into the 2025 NFL draft, though, the Bengals have a pair of trade requests hanging over their heads and at least one other interesting candidate who might have some value if they work the phones.

James Peace was a two-year starter in Knoxville and earned first-team All-SEC honors for his performance in 2024. He led the Vols with 13 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks while playing in all 13 games. He is different from Green in his strengths.

The Cincinnati Bengals approach the 2025 NFL draft with only a handful of free agents still available on the open market. Cincinnati, after all, largely approached this offseason with the strategy of retaining its own.
