Sounds like the Bengals aren't interested in trading players for picks

AJ Green would have been a star on any team that would have drafted him, thus the title "star" player.  Nick Vigil is pretty darned far from being a "star" player in everyone's eyes.  (One would think, at least)

What I was getting at is, as they stand, currently at this moment, our "star" players have their greatest return value to the team during this trade deadline leadup.  Once the season is over, AJ is a FA and only worth a 3rd round comp pick at best, where as right now, he might gather a 1st round pick.

I think we're saying the same thing now that I see this explanation.

I feel like the only way they won't trade Green is IF they feel like getting Jonah back and adding a draft pick or two can turn us around next year. It's highly probable they think this way too.
