That's not how it works.  When you offer a player as trade bait, you are looking to move him, and the buyer is the one doing YOU the favor.  The Falcons allegedly contacted the Bengals about Bernard, meaning they are the seekers, and thus willing to pay a bit of a premium to get a player that they want, so by dealing Gio, the Bengals would be doing THEM the favor, and thus be worthy of a profit.
