I have a couple that I think would interest the board and would make sense to the FO! As usual feel free to submit your trade ideas the more Imaginative the better!

First trade- Bengals trade WR Tee Higgins to the Patriots for DT Christian Baramore.

Why it works- Bengals get a DT to replace DJ Reader & The Patriots get a WR to pair up with their rookie QB.

Problem- If they make this specific trade then they would have to agree to a longterm deal. Which could be a massive amount of guaranteed money that Bengals have shown an unwillingness to pay.


2nd trade Bengals trade pick 18,49, and a 2025 2nd RD pick to the Titans for the 7th overall pick in the draft.

Why it works- Titans get multiple picks in the next two drafts to start thier rebuild. The Bengals get a top 10 pick to aid the team in its effort to go all in.

Problem- It's a deep draft this season; so is the difference between 7 and 18 really that big?

If they did the first one, then maybe they would do number 2 for someone like Malik nabers.

It would depend who is there at 7. I’ll come back after I think of a hypothetical.
