Tobin as emphatic as can be they have zero plans to trade Ross. I had heard similar reaction from others inside building after report.

Someone sure did put the word out that we wanted to deal Ross. If it wasn't the Bengals, it very well could have been Ross' agent, who is probably at the combine.

I can't stand John Ross. I whined like a steeler offensive lineman called for holding when we picked him. His play makes me angry. His stupid face makes me even angrier. It makes me furious when a f/o completely botches a pick like that when even sidewalk fans knew it was a mistake.
But he is fast, and maybe, somehow, this new group can find a way to make that speed useful. If not, so be it. That 5th we might get for him this season can be the 6th we get for him at the trade deadline. Dumping him now just seems reactionary and impetuous, 2 things a young coach should not be labeled this early in his tenure.

I take all of these draft stories with a grain of salt. I remember when everyon4 swore Mike Brown wanted Ryan Mallet instead of Andy Dalton, then a couple of years later they all said he wanted Kaepernick instead of Dalton. It is all nothing but rumors.

But even if we do, it sounds like this was equal part Ross as it sounds like he's wanting to move on. I don't mind the trade. We need to do more of this if we are really a build through the draft team.
Just don't give him away for anything after the 3rd round.

Personally I don't care if they keep him or move him as long as they are not depending on him to be one of our top 3 WRs. I think he has skills to be a very good player, but have some other plan in place if he does not.
