surprise Bengals standing pat with their team instead of trying to improve

Not every team can can immediately benefit from a midseason trade. Basically you have to have a glaring need at one position where the new player would make an immediate big impact. Which of course we happen to perfectly fit in both LB and TE. Somehow I think that had we aggressively beat the proverbial bushes we could have found help at either or both positions.
