Could Billy Price join Andy Dalton as one of the notables the Cincinnati Bengals trade away this offseason?
Price, a former first-round pick, has come up in a few trade ideas over the past few months — and we’ve analyzed it too after the Trey Hopkins extension.
The Athletic’s Jay Morrison is the latest to consider the idea, per Sheil Kapadia:
“A lot of teams had a first-round grade on Price out of Ohio State, and if one of them needs a center, he still can be a quality option. And the Bengals are open to dealing him.”
No shocker here — this new Bengals coaching staff didn’t get much out of Price while Hopkins took his job at center. Besides the foot issue, he generally had problems competing with rookie Michael Jordan at left guard.
With the staff clearly intent on giving Jordan another shot next year, Price could end up getting moved. But first-round product or not, he doesn’t figure to generate a ton of interest, let alone a big return.
