So trading players off this team makes no sense. Plus unlike baseball, football has playbooks hat they practice, and practice. THIS is our Team. These our are players. THIS is our TEAM. Nobody can come in here and catch up on the fly and be as good on the playbook as the players who have been here since Training Camp. THIS is our TEAM, and the 2021 Bengals have the team to win The Super Bowl. Unlike Baseball, the NFL trade deadline is silly. Baseball has no playbooks, Football does. The Bengals have a very good team Right Now, and they should not trade anybody.

The Bengals can't just toss starters under the bus and expect everyone else to be happy with it at this point. I don't know that many players would be happy to see Hopkins gone either at this point in the season knowing what he's been through. If he's been just some 3rd string scrub it would be different. Apple is coming around quite nicely so the glaring need for a starting CB isn't there. Which LB do you think needs to go? I don't see any now.. The only weaknesses I see now are backups and depth players, but starters right now? I just don't see it.. Still, you gotta have something to trade to swap out guys..or some team who just wants to get rid of a better player for a much weaker player ala the Giants trade for Price. How often do you step in shit coming out smelling like roses?There are these things known as draft picks. Teams trying to rebuild love them. Teams that are competing for top spots don't care for them as much.
