I think it was a big gamble on Mike Brown's part to put all his faith in the players that are already here.  The Bengals have shown in the past that they can improve through trade (Cordy Glenn) when necessary.  I think this is one of those times when it comes to the linebacker position, which I think you'd agree has been atrocious and is desperate for an upgrade.


I'm not saying Mike Brown didn't try to make a trade to improve the team.  I'm saying he was unable (for whatever reason) to improve the team through trade, whether he tried or not.  

Nevertheless, here was an interesting article on the subject.
