He wasn't going to replace Dalton and he was tired of riding the bench here. Plus the big lawyer ending over restricted or unrestricted free agent. Him talking with Browns owners and coaches before a Bengals vs Browns game. Forget about McCarron back in Cincy. Get over it. No way they are trading to get him back, and he wouldn't come back if they did. He would go to Candian Football before coming back here.
Again, it remains in doubt how deep we are at WR. Ross hasn't done jack yet. I can't say we have a great stable of WR's because it is all hype. AJ Green of course is great. Boyd came on strong end of season. We need more than Green and Boyd in today's NFL. Plus injuries happen. Until Ross actually does something, he is still an unproven rookie who so far has been very injury prone. Fast isn't enough if he can't handle the NFL defenses much tougher than college. The fastest WR Bengals ever had was 1968 Olympic track star Tommie Smith of holding black glove in air during USA Anthem during Olympic medal ceremony. I saw him in person at Nippert and he was indeed fast. Problem was after every catch he was carried off field on a stretcher. So far that is how Ross career has started. No Time For Trades At This Point.
