There's only two guys I would trade at this point
1.) Eifert- we won't get much but at least it's something. 6th RD 2.) Billings- Doubt he is in our long term plans and we are deep at the position going foward. 3rd Comp/4th RD.

Yeah...kind of makes you wonder why we bother doesn't it? Likely IF we do a rebuild, it's going to take A LONG time kind of like Cleveland.

The team always gives lip service to “not giving up on the season” before trades happen. So, Hobson writing this doesn’t move the needle one way or the other for me. dolphins did earlier this year.

I hope this statement by Hobspin was put out only to avoid the appearance that Bengals would dump players for nothing.
They are crazy if they don't trade AJ for a 1 and Geno and Carlos for 2s. This team is not going to be good for at least 2 to 3 years even assuming they make great draft picks, spend more on free agents, and get a franchise QB- all of which is doubtful. ( and have a superior coaching staff) Will see two years from now if Miami or the Jets are worse organizations than Bengals in 2019 and who is better in 2021. I ersonally have a strong hunch that Miami and the Jets will be farther along in 2021 than the Bengals.

Billings is young and has played well this season. Wren is a project DT that might never develop, Glasgow is a good rotational DT and Geno is getting old.

Not sure why everyone is freaking out about this? First, consider the source of Hobspin. Second, even if it's true, consider the owner and this should not surprise you at all. These guys are stuck on the conclusion that they are just a play away from being competitive and that they should have won 3 of the 5 games they've lost now. They are not as quick to give up as the fans are right now and probably wont be for a few more losses. However, the trade deadline would have happened by then and it will be a hindsight 20/20 thing.
For everyone that's upset about it, then write Mike Brown an email or a personalized letter and mail it to him. Tell him your thoughts. However, don't be belligerent or he wont even consider reading the message in it's entirety and only reinforces his thoughts that he is smarter than you. He's been famous for writing fans back.

Probably wont make any trades then lose AJ at end of season without getting anything.

I get why you want to keep Billings but he plays a position that isn't as valuable at NT.

Why so angry about not getting picks?
After the last draft they have proven they are as clueless there as they are in Free Agency. Hell we have so many 1st round pick DBs you'd think they'd pick off every QB we ever play. How many did they have last season? This season? The O-line busts just keep piling up as well. I guess if we have more of them they might just dumb luck into something or be able to take a chance on someone like a Mixon type player.

After scouting the Bengals I highly doubt other teams are really interested in our players. “NFL good” and “Cincinnati good” aren’t the same things.

Because he can leave in free agency for nothing. Honestly, seeing him standing on the sidelines...he looks like he wants out...and who could blame him.
