So what does that tell you? There was never any trade offers. That was just the Bengals leaking that in an attempt to drum up a trade offer for a player they were going to cut.

And, again, they make more cap space despite fitting Bernard’s cap hit under the limit. For what purpose?

This is very abnormal offseason. First time in a very long time cap decreased versus increasing 10 to 20%. Some teams who were kicking cap money down the road suddenly are in a position to pay up. Simply, they will be forced after the draft to cut some of their high profile overly paid players or trade them to get under the 2021 cap.

I may be wrong, but Bengals are in a great position to snag very good players who get cut or have yet to sign at huge discounts. So, very different from past so let's see it play out. I love they have a lot of cap space and flexibility for 2021 as 2021 offseason is months away from being over.
