we could have gotten Chase Young for a 3rd round pick, and that we don't see new players on our roster except when it's an emergency...
Chase Young for a 3rd round pick and even if he doesnt sign a contract in the offseason with the 49ers, the compensation pick for his loss is a likely 3rd round pick. I was listening to one of the broadcasts yesterday talking about it basically being a wash. Its ridiculous the Bengals didnt make that trade especially knowing how weak we already were in the pass rush department before Hendrickson was even injured.
The problem is the Bengals are saving all the money they can so they can use that money on big Offensive contracts while they let good defensive players leave to be filled with cheaper contracts which results in a weaker defense. Signing Young even for this year would have eaten in to the money the Bengals have right now that can rollover to next year.
