Gio isn't going anywhere. He is our Sproles. It's not his fault Marvin and co never knew how to use him.

Unless they give up a good LB or OL I'd pass. We need Gio this year, imo, so whatever they give up will need to sting a little, too.
Go Benton Panthers!!

You know, it's kind of weird. After that article that I posted in the OP, I can't find any other mentions of the ATL/CIN trade talks, anywhere..
I'm certain that if something were really going on, those of you that monitor Bengals news on Twitter would have also stumbled across something by now. Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

Why should be just give up Gio to help the Falcons? If we want to trade Gio, then open it up to 31 teams and get the best deal.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

That's not how it works. When you offer a player as trade bait, you are looking to move him, and the buyer is the one doing YOU the favor. The Falcons allegedly contacted the Bengals about Bernard, meaning they are the seekers, and thus willing to pay a bit of a premium to get a player that they want, so by dealing Gio, the Bengals would be doing THEM the favor, and thus be worthy of a profit.

But, I think that after 6 seasons, a 4th would be good market value, and getting a 3rd round pick would be the Bengals "winning" the deal.

Yes, the fact that a team contacted the Bengals, about giving them something in return for Bernard, is a bit of a surprise. If they get a 4th round pick, or even a competent OL or LB in return? That would be a huge WIN for the Bengals management team. Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

It would be and as much as I believe Gio is a fine RB when healthy he is getting older. Not to mention I think we got the best RB in the Draft in Traveon Williams, not joking, dude is good, really good and has everything Gio has and more besides experience. But one position that can be good right off the bat in the NFL is RB so I am not understanding that argument either.

Rex Burkhead had 317 yards from scrimmage last year in 8 games regular season games. Gio had 429 yards from scrimmage last year in 12 games. Rex also added another 141 yards in the postseason for the Patriots. I'd say that really is impressive coming from their 3rd string running back. Hell, Rex even gave them 500 yards in 2017 when we could barely get 100 from Jeremy Hill. I'd say that yeah, they're pretty happy they took him off our hands.

The Steelers don’t need to pay off Mikey, he helps them just by the way he operates
