I love boyd and core and as AMAZING as they have both looked micheal thomas from the saints has looked even better plus i do think we let lafell go after this season so does anyone think we could trade mccarron plus a couple comp picks for thomas this dude has made so many one handed catches already pkus 6'3 212 he can go up for the jump balls like aj green can 4.55 40 yard dash but plays faster just knowing we need to trade mccarron next season and brees getting old thought it might make sense or if you think a better deal to get thomas would happen let me know but this dude can flat out ball!

There is nothing wrong with wanting to get talent or picks back for McCarron, but this one isn't a good idea at all.  The Bengals are so deep at young, talented WRs, TEs, and backs that half of the posts these days are arguing which ones should be retained and which ones will try to be stashed on the practice squad....knowing full well that a good talent is likely to get plucked off with no compensation. 

Even if Michael Thomas is the next AJ Green, which I doubt, you don't trade away picks PLUS McCarron, who I think is easily worth a second round selection...and it would have to be an EARLY second round selection.  Plus, this is kind of like adding a LB when you have Burfict, Vigil, Dawson, Rey, Maualuga, Flowers, and Dansby when most of the time, only two LBs are on the field.  

I'm glad to see Thomas is doing well, but it will be a vastly different set of circumstances when teams are game planning for the Saints passing attack.  The Bengal's biggest need right now is at the tackle position, but it should be fine as both guys are not going to be lost for long.
