That's an interesting approach. I guess they think he can help Burrow over the next few weeks?

Even swap. Him for JJAW. Bust for bust. 

I thought I saw someone replied to this suggestion saying it would be $2M

2mil? Worth getting off the books. JJAW will never be good here.

They simply don't make in-season trades. Not sure why. Since 1985 they have only traded two players in season, though they did recently trade Carlos Dunlap.

Id take him for a 5th. or 4th. Maybe even a 3rd and possibly a 2nd. Because you know damn well that he is likely better then anyone Howie is going to pick in those rounds. 

At this point, you might be able to get him for a 6th.

And one of those was when they got two first rounders for Carson Palmer.  

Would he even want to be here? We already have Reagor

Still have zero clue why anyone thinks hes worth trading for? Hes all speed, no hands, no route running skills. Hes been in the league now 3.5 years and done nothing. Hes worthless at this point. 

Houston is reportedly shopping Will Fuller. id rather have him than ross

How old is Fuller? What kind of contract is he on?

I am still struggling to see what the risk is with Ross. I am sure he can be had with a 7th rounder (6th rounder worse case). The Bengals did not pick up his 5th year option so he will be a free agent in the offseason. John Ross can at least contribute as a kick and punt returner. Instantly more valuable than Whiteside who should be cut immediate after trading for Ross.

I think this would be a good opportunity to kick the tires on a failed player with potential from a terrible organization.

Didn’t like him in that draft, definitely don’t like him now that he’s been either injured or just underwhelming throughout his career so far. Hard pass.

See I agree with you. Though I feel like we've been here before. Kicking the tires on failed players who have injury records. And to be honest that puts me off.

only 26! Still in his prime. only problem is the injury history. but if the asking price isn't too high, id still do it. i just kind of accept that our guys are going to get hurt now😂

Newbie here is already banned with only 6 posts to his name, is that a new record?

What did I miss, because the posts that I have seen from him so far appear fairly innocuous?

Just reviewed his six posts, nothing in the stratosphere of being banned.  Has to be a clone.  @Moderator6 what's the scoop ??

Saying "JJ Arcega Whiteside is the GOAT" is enough to get you banned on any platform due to "offensive language" and "misinformation."

How very Bengals of them.  I'm guessing that since they used a 1 on him they would look foolish to trade him a few years later for a late round pick.  Oh well.  I doubt he would have been a huge contributor here, but still think he would have been worth a sniff.

If you think of it, its a similar stance we took with Nelson. We even tagged him which made it worse. We honestly should have traded Nelson and resigned Golden Tate. I still think that was one of Howie's biggest mistakes.
