The Bengals should be actively exploring trades...

But at least a proven experienced vet that has way more than a handful of catches. And you know? for this very reason.

Yep and really surprised WR4 was not an off season addition in a "all in year" as well.  Love our top 3 WR's but talent wise it falls off a cliff the size of Grand Canyon afterwards. 

The Bengals rank 28th in opponents punt returns, so are these ST'ers really worth it ? Know one long return was when Thomas whiffed a tackle just recently. They do rank 5th in opponents kick off returns, but we can just kick it out of the end zone on those if necessary. 

People saying a new WR will mess with chemistry is not always the case either. Dallas was not doing much when trading for Amari Cooper and then won 7 out of the last 9 games and earning a playoff bid. OBJ did not upset the apple cart for the Rams last year either. 

Now Bengals can not add a star without trading Bates to even up the monetary cap problems it would cause. But can get somebody in here to help    now and bolster the depth when Chase returns.  

But not expecting the addition of WR except maybe Lassiter and just praying Bengals can get through the next 3 games victorious or at the very least win the 2 division games without Chase.
