Cincinnati Bengals trade deadline activity might end up being zilch.
As expected, at least per the team’s usual operating procedure around this time of year.
Still, it’s notable that in a report from The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, the Bengals are explicitly mentioned amongst the teams not expected to be active at all — alongside the Chiefs, Rams, Falcons and Texans.
Fans have surely tempered expectations, so much so that the top possible ideas out there are reunions. One is a suggested trade to get running back Samaje Perine back, while the other is a suggested trade to get tight end Hayden Hurst back.
While outlining 11 targets for the team at the trade deadline, we also highlighted pass-rushers who could help out Trey Hendrickson.
But barring a stunner, the Bengals aren’t expected to do much again, betting the playoff and championship hopes this year on the current roster as already assembled.
