Regina CarmichaelWe have reached peak NFL trade deadline season, it appears. The Cincinnati Bengals’ year is far from over after a pair of wins in a row, and Joe Burrow appears to be in a rhythm with his offense. It took a while, but here we are.
Now, with the Bengals sitting at 3-4 and well within reach of a postseason berth, fans are wondering whether or not the team is going to make a move before the November 5 trade deadline.
One area the Bengals need to shore up is when it comes to getting after the quarterback. At the moment, Trey Hendrickson has seven of the team’s 12 total sacks on the year.
Those 12 sacks are also good for sixth-fewest in the NFL. One might think having Hendrickson is enough, but that hasn’t been the case.
With Cincinnati’s offense being good enough to put up points, it’s clearly the defensive side of the ball that needs help. You could argue going after help in the secondary is high on their priority list, but could adding a pass rusher make sense?
To an extent, yes.
However, to the extent of Cincinnati even thinking they’d have a shot at landing Cleveland Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett? That’s just plain silly.
Apparently, the idea is worth talking about, though. Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay recently floated out a few different Garrett trade ideas with the Browns likely going into selling mode, and the Bengals were one of the four proposed destinations.
