Had no interest in making that trade.
That tells me how much they really value the TE.
Not mention Sample is still here.
The Bengals could also feel that one of the many Head Coaching and Offensive Coordinator changes could lead to the opportunity to acquire a waived Tight end or possibly trade for a TE that these New Coaches inherit on their Team's Roster that may not fit their New Systems or that the New Coaches don't have a history with.
Darren Waller was a Raider pre Josh McDaniels and appears to not be a Josh McDaniels guy.
The Bengals may have their eye on a few tight ends that they feel may be on the bubble with these New Coaches.
It does look like they are rolling with Irv Smith Jr but they must feel comfortable that they can successfully maneuver options should Irv keep showing injury problems during the 2023 season.
