Here's how I envision Dunlap's quiet trade requests go with the Bengals.
Dunlap: "I'd like a trade so I can play on a team that is closer to winning a championship"
Team: "Sorry, but you're a good player and we want you on this team and need your leadership in the locker room"
Dunlap: "Need my leadership in the locker room you say? Keep watching."
Let's not forget the decade of Dunlap being a model player, leader and active in the community just because of the last couple weeks. Which do you think is the real Dunlap?
If he wanted to play for a team with a shot at a championship, why did he sign a contract here? He could have taken less money to join a team with better odds if that was how he felt.
I feel like we all knew it would be worse before it got better after losing Marvin. It was not going to instantly be a better team, there would be turnover. Why sign a 3 year contract for a team trying to rebuild??
