The Bengals (largely due to coaching) were more than just a linebacker away from being solid. I mean, we could've added Tate, sure, but would he have done much that someone here wasn't already doing? I don't think so.
The Bengals were two LBs, an interior rusher, a RG, a RT, and a TE away. They could have added a player or two, but it would have resulted in maybe a winning record or making the playoffs.
A trade only made sense if it was going to be for a player who the Bengals would have for more than the rest of the 2018 season.
