Bengals shopping John Ross

I also find it interesting that only 32 of his 58 targets were deemed catchable. Also his uncatchable deep ball rate was second highest in the NFL at 73%.
Some people don't want to hear this, but Dalton was terrible at throwing him the a good deep ball. Go back and watch that Saints game. Dalton consistently under threw him never hitting Ross in stride.

 
If you are offered a 6th and thats it, that is probably the height of his value. If he is up to be traded that probably means Taylor doesn't want him, if we keep him we probably won't use him. A player who isn't being used isn't going to garner any more interest a year later. Right now there is still some newness and shine to him with coaches who liked him in the draft saying "I can fix him". I think it's a mistake to keep the guy if Taylor doesn't want him no matter the compensation. 

I explained the "uncatchable" issue in another thread, it comes with bad route integrity downfield.
