Cincinnati Bengals wideout John Ross reportedly approached the team recently and requested a trade.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Ross has been frustrated with his lack of playing time and Garafolo confirmed that his agent had approached the Bengals about a move.
While the spotlight has been on Carlos Dunlap and Geno Atkins in recent days, Ross quietly returned to the lineup after multiple inactive weeks only due to injuries to others — and played a single snap.
A former first-round pick now on the final year of his deal after the team declined his fifth-year option, Ross has fallen behind A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and a host of others in the Joe Burrow-led offense.
Ross wanting out isn’t much of a shocker at this point, though the Bengals getting anything noteworthy back via trade would be.
