Rumors and discussions abound on all 3.

With the latest, and definitely most wild, rumor put out by PFN insider Tony Pauline, who heard the Bengals are set to draft Ja’Marr Chase over offensive tackle Penei Sewell.

Not because they believe he's truly the better player or better for the team, but they simply want to 'stick it to AJ Green.'

Such rumors are common place in Bengaldom during draft week. But it has recently been said that the Falcons want Pitts.

But with only 1 million in cap space, they can't afford to sign any draft day players and are actively shopping Julio Jones.

If the rumors are true a future 1st to 2nd would net you Julio Jones. They want to make the trade after June 1st to save cap space.

If the Cincinnati Bengals draft Penei Sewell in the 1st.

Would you want them to trade for Julio Jones?

Do you think he'd be realistic and sign a contact restructure or add a "4th year voided" to significantly lower his cap hit to us over the next 3 year's?

Do you think he would be better then Chase over the next 3 years? Do you think a change of scenery would reinvigorate him for the next 3 years?

Would a Penei Sewell, opening up this year's 2nd round pick, and Julio Jones for next year's 2nd be better than Chase and a 2nd round O-Lineman?

Or is it just too much to give for an aging WR?

Why would anyone even ask this? Might as well ask if they're going to trade Burrow and sign Alex Smith. 

The Bengals aren't wasting a draft pick to middle finger anyone. To even believe that for a second is downright goofy. I couldn't think of a more absurd concept. Until this.....

The Bengals aren't trading for Juilo Jones. Certainly not draft picks. And certainly not with his salary. And for a 1st or 2nd? Child Please. 


Atlanta cannot trade him until June 1st, anyway.

To the rest of your questions... A blanket NO. Just, NO. There's no reason to even debate these or answer them individually. NO. There are ZERO reasons for the Bengals to do this and EVERY CONCEIVABLE reason for them to not do it. NO.

Next question: Should the Bengals cut Tee Higgins and trade two firsts to get AJ Green back and then trade Bates for Larry Fitzgerald..... NO.

Jesus Christ.... NO
