Sounds like the Bengals aren't interested in trading players for picks

AJ Green would have been a star on any team that would have drafted him, thus the title "star" player.  Nick Vigil is pretty darned far from being a "star" player in everyone's eyes.  (One would think, at least)

What I was getting at is, as they stand, currently at this moment, our "star" players have their greatest return value to the team during this trade deadline leadup.  Once the season is over, AJ is a FA and only worth a 3rd round comp pick at best, where as right now, he might gather a 1st round pick.

The funny part about this fanbase is, they view the good players as bad (a lot of the time, as referenced above) and they view the bad/average players as better than they are. 

Probably not uncommon in most fanbases though.
