Could we have used Trent Williams? Of course. Was he ever going to consider coming here? Nope. So now we are at a point where if the right guy at the right position wanted out to chase a ring we are firmly in the “Buyers” position.

Not arguing that Trent Williams would have been a huge help, just stating that this would take another big leap outside the comfort zone for the Bengals as I can't recall the last time (if they ever have) traded a 1st round pick straight up for a player. And, that you have to make sure and go through a thorough vetting process on said player to make sure that they aren't going to bring that negative energy to a young locker-room.

So, while it is certainly something they should look into and could be useful it is something they have never done and needs to be handled correctly. You land a guy with drama and it can break it all down.
