NO....Trades in the NFL don't happen like in baseball.....and unlike baseball, football is more of a team game and why the Pro Bowl stinks because you can't put a team together in one week. You can throw baseball players together and have an All-Star Game but not in football. ....This team has been going at it since the Spring and Summer camps. We wouldn't be much of a team if somebody could just walk in and throw his jock strap on the field and that makes him a starter in November. November is a little late in the season. The Bengals are 6-0 and this is our team. ....Who would we be trading ? ...We are 6-0, so why would we be trading anybody, and you have to trade top talent to get top talent. ....No, this ain't baseball, and why break up a team that is 6-0. ....I'm not for trading a top WR or a top D Lineman to get a LB, and those would be our only deep bench areas, but we need those areas bench deep because that is a big reason for the 6-0.
Burfict may or may not be back, but we are 6-0 without him.....that said, he has been part of this team and knows the system so he would be a good addition to the 2015 Bengals.
