We have OL, Horn, etc. Doesn't matter. We don't need to be trading away any of these guys for what is basically a short term fix.

It's not as if he won't continue to be an elite pass rusher but it's not the right TIME for a move like this. We are just digging out of cap issues, have little to no actual core and even adding him isn't going to add a ton in the W/L column this season. I don't think anyone arguing against trading for him doesn't like the player. I love the guy. These gotta be people that are still clinging to this idea of this being a playoff team.

They technically have until the trade deadline and reality is that they could acquire more suitors as injuries or issues pile up. It really just depends on how deep they want to go.

We really can't afford to pay that kind of price tag. Not to mention, by the time we are likely to have this roster turned around enough to win, Hendrickson will likely be close to retirement.

I mean, at that point you are one injury away from literally it being a formality we are gonna lose that week. Dalton is at least competent. Which, I suppose we are close to that being reality regardless.

I mean, I like Hendrickson but ain't no way I am trading Coker. Also, WR is definitely not a need in Cincy.

They also don't have to trade with us.

I mean, that's tantamount to prepping to tank.

I am not sure a rotational DE, a backup OL and a 2nd is gonna do it.

I mean the only reasonable pieces we could potentially offer are Ikey, Lewis, Hunt, D. Brown and probably Horn. Maybe Dowdle as a pot sweetner? But why would we literally trade any of those guys? The defense is going to suck. That mold was cast like fuging 2 years ago. If this is desperation over lack of pass rush....well.....tough poo. Figure it out next offseason.

I mean, he is just on a one year deal. This is another BC scenario where we wee overvaluing him as an NFL player versus his worth to our roster specifically. Also, why would the Bengals want a backup player? That's not the impact they are looking for, more likely than not.

Rumors per two respected NFL reporters?

Mays is valuable to us. He is of very limited value elsewhere. Not sure I would call including him as "stupid."

If so, we are so insanely fuged. They preached patience all offseason. For that to change suddenly would be prime Rhule/Fitterer days.

Yeah but that was also a very good Panthers team. This is a very bad Panthers team.

Plummer's days on the PS might be numbered.

Yeah, that is why I don’t think we will do it. We haven't made any horrifying trades under Dan yet. If that does happen, I suppose we have our answer at GM. We need a new one.

They aren't going to get that from anyone for Hendrickson. He is on the wrong side of 30 and gonna be very pricey to boot. They are going to Bungle it.

We have zero players on this roster that a single NFL team would trade for that are on the cut line. That's a downside of having the worst roster in the league.

BC wouldn't start there and Corbett is a massive injury risk. If they wanted BC, they literally could have signed him in free agency.

Corbett and BC are basically worth very little. That's one reason why I don't want to get involved in a trade if they want a lot of compensation. We have little in the way of valuable players, almost all of them we shouldn't be considering giving up. That leaves draft compensation carrying the weight if we don't give up a big player. Also something we shouldn't be giving up.

I am considerably more worried about the picks than the players. We have very few players that are irreplaceable.

Gabriel is not even PS worthy. Drafting him was insane.

David Moore? He has no value to them. He isn't a tradeable asset. The rub is that he is going to want a big contract because it is likely his last chance. $20 mil is very unlikely to work. That's the real thing about all this, you have to be sure you can extend him or it was all for naught.

I would say that is highly unlikely simply because it immediately hampers what they are trying to do with Bryce. We don't have a good replacement for him. BC is not a capable LT and Yosh is fuging terrible. I would think the player/players we gave up are likely veterans with limited value.
