Any of the receivers we could have traded for would have been better than what we currently run out there in the 3 WR sets we are running most of their time because of the lack of TEs.
Aside from the compensation, I don't see the Bengals paying the salary for Tate or Thomas...even if it's only for 1 year.
They are going to ride this season out. We have one of the youngest rosters in the league, new coaches, and a bunch of injuries. They'll be content with 8-9-10 wins and ecstatic with a playoff appearance if we indeed do earn one. You'll hear PR to the effect of if healthy we could contend.
I'm with those on here who would go after Dez. The above is what I think the Bengals thought process is.
We've been really hurt by Ced, Fisher, and Ross not developing. Really hurt.
