It is almost impossible to get a trade partner for an expensive older player especially when the writing is on the wall is that a release is coming. Every team has that challenge, not just the Bengals. Fans tend to way over price trade value for these guys
According to the team they had accomplished the impossible and multiple teams (plural) called. Seems kinda strange to just release a player with multiple teams wanting to give the Bengals compensation to take his contract off their hands.
