"Bengals do nothing for o-line just days after embarrassing performance"

Cordy Glenn, Duane Brown, Josh Sitton and several others were supposedly on the market. Not even a sniff from the Bengals.

We should be roasting them right now, not semi-complimenting them for a trade that didn't even happen.

I can't help but agree with both of you.  Trading McCarron would have only shifted the spotlight away from the fact that the Bengals did nothing to improve the team NOW.  Draft picks are fine, but we are already looking to have 10 in the next draft.  We needed help on the OL, right NOW.

So much for the build up for the 50th Anniversary season, folks.
