Thank Goodness We Didn't Disrupt Our Core with a Trade!

Earlier this week, an NFL GM told @JasonLaCanfora that the #Bengals are “philosophically opposed” to making trades and “it's a waste of time to call them.” I asked Zac Taylor for his response to that? “I don’t believe that. But I don’t have much to comment on that.” pic.twitter.com/3GMu77bIya

Zac is going off his personal experience.  They traded up twice in the draft this year.  They traded down to acquire Glenn last year before he took the job.  Historically speaking, they'll trade if they feel that they're getting the better of the deal.  

If they don't resign AJ and had a significant offer, then that's a failure on their part.  Anybody that will be under contract next year you entertain offers, but you have to get a reasonable return to replace the player.  Let's face it, if the player isn't any good and is easily replaced by some late round scrub, other teams aren't calling about them. Plus you can trade those guys before the draft.  If someone calls with a ridiculous offer, sure you take it.  However you don't dump your best players for some day three draft picks, either.
