Duke Tobin on why the Bengals didn't trade veteran players

[WhodeyRay]

Our team philosophies are terrible. We may have at most 2 guys at most that we consider building around and not taking offers for. Saying we won't trade our best players is like my baseball coach saying he wouldnt trade me to the Reds because I am the teams best player and would make them better. I may be great on my team but sure wouldnt be on the Reds.
