Dunlap not starting this week

[Geno_Can_Dunk]

Yeah sure, they probably should've sat down and told him before posting it in the clubhouse or wherever they post such things. But Dunlap is still being a total whinebag about it. Suck it up, work harder, and get your job back. He's the one who made his demotion "public" not the Bengals.

I remember Marvin once saying that he talked to Dunlap's dad - a military man - after we drafted him, and even his dad said that you needed to keep your foot up his ass - and those were his exact words - to keep him motivated. No way he's back next year.

High priced vets in noticeable decline aren't so easy to trade, but it's not impossible. A whole lot of stars would have to align just right. Somebody desperate at DE. Either somebody with cap room, or we'd have to agree to swallow some of his salary. If we're doing that we'd need pretty healthy compensation, so that's another thing to negotiate. Sure would help if he starts playing better, at least getting some sacks, and if we win another game before the trade deadline we'll still be in mathematical contention so I doubt we'd trade anybody. Chances of a Dunlap trade are in the single digits in my opinion.
