He just put this out on Twitter:
“It’s not a secret that i have requested a trade. Trade me if this how y’all feel. I’m healthy and eager to play. I know I can be productive. It’s hard to love something when your not actually participating in it. Believe me, its not football that i don’t like.”

Another coaching success.

The short answer is yes but the round of the compensatory pick is uncertain.

Is he reiterating it here, or is this the first time he's flat-out said he wants a trade? I thought he already said he wanted out.

The tweet is now gone. Glad I copied it! I does have a ring of truth in it.

He must've deleted it.
The link goes to twitter, but it doesn't go to any tweet.

I think this is the first time he has actually said it. Originally, it was his agent IIRC. This is supposedly coming from Ross himself, but the tweet is deleted.
Out of all the picks that didn't work out, this one bums me out the most. He was just electric in college and having him be productive would do wonders for this offense with Boyd and Higgins coming on. He has just never figured it out. Unfortunately, I don't think Cincinnati will get anything for him and he will just ride the bench the rest of the year only to be released.

I can't imagine there's much interest in him ? Not at any real value to us anyways.

Nor have we done a good job of utilizing what he does well.
He could be running jet sweeps instead of Boyd, and regularly putting him in motion to hold a defense honest about defending the sweep or quick screen.

Yep. Even with his limitations, we should be able to do something with the fastest guy in the league. 15 snaps a game. Something.
Drags. Crossing routes. Something.

Agreed. Been saying this for months. Ross is not a down the field receiver every play. He's the perfect gadget play guy with plays designed to just get the ball in his hands. Occasionally, you let him take the top off the defense just to keep the back 7 honest...

Ross has worked with three different OCs and 2 different head coaches.
No offense to all you guys here who are smarter than NFL coaches, but it is really hard for me to believe that the problem with Ross is just coaches not knowing how to use him.

He had to delete it. He said he was healthy but faking an illness to not practice. That opens him up to fines.

If Ross hadn’t been an early first round pick,he would have been gone a long time ago.

LMAO, John I loved when we drafted you and had hopes you would get it, but you didn't. Blame the coaches all you want (apparently it's kosher for players to not accept any responsibility) but they weren't the ones running wrong routes or just flat out dropping passes.....
