Per @AlbertBreer the #Bengals turned down a 2nd round pick in a trade for QB AJ McCarron.

Not a lot of details there... but apparently at some point they turned down a 2nd rounder which, if true, was a stupid move.

Agreed. If true, it's dumb to turn away. I feel that's the best offer that will have been and will be on the table.
That could have allowed the Bengals to draft an OL in the second round (like Elflein, Pocic, Feeney, Dawkins, or Moton) and taken a QB with the 5th rounder like Kaaya, Peterman, or Kelly.
That's what I would have done anyway.

EDIT - Assuming this offer was before the draft. If it was for a 2018+ draft pick, that changes things.
