Here is the deal.  Historically NFL trade deadline deals are very rare, so it takes a troll to claim that the Bengals not making a deadline deal means they don't care about winning.

That happens a lot around here.  The Bengals do something that most other teams do and a certain group here starts squealing about how it proves the Bengals are Clueless/don't care.

There have even been a few around here who have been spreading lies just to get fans more upset.  For example the Raiders were supposed to be giving Jared Cook away for nothing.  That was just total troll BS.

To be fair, the Patriots did do a trade this season before the deadline...Josh Gordon. It wasn't right at the deadline but it was an established WR for a relatively late-round pick that they did after the season started.

But I agree with you in that just because a team doesn't make a move that they don't care about winning. It could definitely mean they feel confident in their roster and/or the cost to acquire a new player is too much.
