It actually works out well for the Bengals because of the bye coming up. I think that having the bye week to adjust to any new players makes a trade a little more likely.
If the Bengals win this weekend, but Redmond struggles I really think that there is a good chance that we pull the trigger on a trade.
Very true, best to wait till after this TB game for us. The bye did end up in the perfect spot for us this year.

But I think Cover backers are going to be a premium in the NFL because of the new rules allowing more catches over the middle and the new age Tight Ends.
I am down with Elijah Lee. True, cover backers are at a premium nowadays. Will have to draft one it seems.

The reason is because if the Bengals lose that game, I'd be very surprised to see them even make the playoffs let alone advancing. If that happened, I'd prefer the Bengals keep any draft picks they have. If they win and can end up 5-3 into the bye, I think they have a shot this year.

Getting Jared Cook would be amazing for this team IMO.
