This one lists three theoretical Bengals trades:

a. AJ Green to Washington for Trent Williams
b. Geno Atkins to Oakland for 3rd rounder
c. Andy Dalton to Chicago for 2020 2nd rounder and 2021 1st rounder

Would you like to see any of those trades?

I'm sad to admit it, but at this point in the season I'd jump at a and c.  I love AJ, but he's not getting us to the playoffs this year, will be looking for a big contract next year, and is a huge injury risk.  Williams is under contract next year and would provide us immediate help at a position of need.  Trading Dalton would let us evaluate Finley, and if he sucks, to draft a QB early next year (which we'll probably do anyway).  Main issue is I don't see either trade happening, as player/player trades are rare in the NFL and I don't think the slight Trubisky-to-Dalton upgrade is worth a 1 and 2.

Forgot to add:  I wouldn't do the Geno trade, as I would need more than a 3rd for him (although I could be overvaluing him).

Maybe he was screwing up his typing, Dalton for a 3rd and Geno is supposed to be the 1st and 2nd? 

In all honesty though, if I was in charge of this dumpster fire, Dalton, Green, Geno and Dunlap would all be dealt. Not that I dislike them, (Well, 3 of them....damn it Andy) but all of them are not going to be in their prime when this team is finally turned around, plus they deserve a chance to actually experience winning a playoff game...
