The Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants agreed to a blockbuster trade on Saturday, with the Bengals acquiring three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence in exchange for the 10th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. FanDuel TV host Kay Adams had predicted the move less than a week earlier, and she took to social media to celebrate her apparent clairvoyance.

Why it matters

The trade gives the Bengals a dominant interior defensive lineman to build around, while the Giants now have two top-10 picks to work with in the upcoming draft. Adams' ability to foresee the deal highlights her keen understanding of NFL team-building strategies and player movement.

The details

In a segment on her show 'Up & Adams' last Monday, Adams suggested the Bengals should pursue a trade for Lawrence, noting his status as one of the league's best interior defensive linemen over the past five years. She pointed to the Bengals' $20 million in available salary cap space as a reason they could make a move for Lawrence. Just days later, the Bengals and Giants agreed to the trade, with Lawrence signing a one-year, $28 million extension to remain with Cincinnati for the next three seasons.
