Bengals use the following philosophy, it seems:
- If doing just .500 or lower, don't trade because it won't make enough of a difference to get to the Super Bowl and we don't want to potentially spend extra $$ given the upcoming contracts we gotta pay.
- If doing well, no need to trade because the team is good enough.
The only scenario I see Bengals making a trade for is if a season-ending injury happens to a key piece and they are right there in the mix for the division lead at the trade deadline.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
