The Bengals should be actively exploring trades...

Yes. Trading a mid-30's QB for a ton of assets.

Where they avoided the tank was Geno Smith. He was a bust with the Jets, but guys can sometimes develop just by practicing for years. I watched their game with the Giants and he has a good arm and mobility. Seattle seems well coached too.

Maybe Wilson was the issue there for a couple years and they just traded the problem away?

Like here, in a hypothetical IF you traded Burrow away...the QB that came in would have 3 great WR's. A good RB. A decent line. And our defense is good. They could win with that. Burrow is elite.

Now if the QB was not elite. Like Wilson was only elite in name. His play wasn't elite...but another team thinks he still is and will give up compensation accordingly...

That's the Seattle situation.
