After a significant trade, three-time Pro Bowler Dexter Lawrence is set to join the Cincinnati Bengals, where he hopes to continue wearing his familiar No. 97 jersey. Currently, No. 97 is held by second-year player Shemar Stewart, who may consider changing numbers to accommodate Lawrence. The Bengals traditionally restrict defensive linemen to wearing numbers in the 90s, but this trade signals a potential shift in their usual practices. Lawrence’s presence in No. 97 would evoke memories of the legendary Geno Atkins, solidifying his role in the Bengals’ defense.
