CINCINNATI — The Bengals are one of multiple teams that have expressed interest in Giants pass rusher Azeez Ojulari according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic.

Ojulari, 24, topped our list of possible trade targets that we published earlier this week. He's in the final year if his rookie contract.

"With Ojulari set to hit free agency after the season, GM Joe Schoen is trying to get something in return for him now," Russini wrote. "Teams that are keeping an eye on the 24-year-old include the Falcons, Cardinals and Bengals."

The 24-year-old has six sacks and 24 tackles this season. The Bengals could give up a day three pick to land a young, promising pass rusher that's having the best season of his career. He'd give them some immediate juice and could end up being a long-term fit in Cincinnati.
