No Deal: Bengals Stand Pat at Trade Deadline
CINCINNATI — The NFL trade deadline came and went on Tuesday afternoon and like most of the league, the Bengals didn't make a move.
Cincinnati could've used another edge rusher or interior offensive linemen and they were involved in talks, but a deal never got done.
It's fair to wonder if Cincinnati's 34-31 loss to New York had anything to do with their decision to stand pat at the deadline. In season trades have plenty of moving parts and they're challenging to pull off, but the Bengals have two clear weaknesses that the coaching staff and the front office is aware of.
They could use another edge rusher. They also know the interior of their offensive line has been below average for most of the season.
Despite that, they stuck with their current roster.
The Bengals are 5-3 and in second place in the AFC North. They host the Browns on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.
