NFL Trade Deadline: Like Most Teams, Bengals Will Likely Sit Idle

PrintIn baseball there's debates, lists of players, followed by venting sessions for lonely teams holding onto playoff hopes by the string of Homer Simpson's hair. Sometimes teams, fans and the media believe that in baseball, you just need that one player to get over that .500 hump, initiating an epic-level winning streak. Not only increasing your playoff chances, you literally become the most awesome thing ever to exist with a winning streak that would impress Esther Vergeer, who simply dominates the wheelchair tennis world, currently on a 394-match winning streak. The Rangers' Cliff Lee could be a good example.
The trading deadline is rampant with speculation in baseball. It makes for good drama. But unlike baseball, the trading deadline in football comes and goes without much notice. Case in point? I'll bet many of you didn't know that the NFL's trading deadline is today at 4 p.m. Most reports indicate that Cincinnati won't be in the trading market this year because there's actually been no reports with the words Bengals and trade being used in the same sentence.
What about trading Peerman to Green Bay for a seventh? Or Tom Nelson to Houston for a stripper named Candy? We could speculate all day, but the likelihood Cincinnati would trade anyone of even minor importance at this point in the season, where there's hope for a turn-around, much like their transition from 2008 to 2009, seems rather small, as Candy mocked us all.
Alright, you're the general manager. Which player would you trade for with another team and secondly, which player on the Bengals roster would you trade?

trade odom for whoever we can get
trade odom for some type of value… the dude is made of glass and personally think fanene gives us a better shot at getting to the qb anyway.. apart from one game where he was going against a high school left tackle the dude has like what 4 sacks the last two years… trade him for some type of value
+1. I would try to trade him for a O-lineman.
Also I would try to trade JJ for a pass rushing specialist. Someone who can actually put pressure on the QB. Let Jones start next to Hall and we should still be set at CB
trade J-Jo?!?!?!
for a pass rushing specialist…..no way in hell. j-jo is the best player on our defense, and hopefully will re-sign this offseason then Hall next year…..lock down, top tier corners are way harder to come by than pass rushers….although i do agree we need help on D-line, hopefully Fanene comes back and blows us away
a trade i would like to see is Dan Coats for anyone- but particularly a real fullback. We lack the smashmouth run game like last year for 2 reasons (maybe 3).1. No on is fooled by the jumbo/unbalanced formation anymore, and 2. lack of a real fullback (3. Brat is too predicatble).
I'd be in favor of trading J Jo
Not because he isn’t good. Not because we don’t need good corners.
I’d favor it because we have corner depth, especially with our top replacement, Adam Jones. Joseph is great, but because he’s replaceable here, we value him less than other teams do. A downgrade from Joseph to Jones is well worth what we’d get in return for J Jo. He’s only got the rest of this season on the contract, so why not use him as bait for a team desperate to win now, that also needs a corner? Like Houston? We could get a second rounder for that expiring contract. Good deal, and then we can re-sign Leon.

Not really interested in picks because Mike Brown will screw those up.
More interested in getting a top of the line D-lineman or O-lineman. Those are the spots that need the most help and I think it would be a good idea to get it done.
Fair enough.

no way would i trade j jo… our corners are the strength of our defense… although i would like to see a new o lineman… it would make sense to trade for a mlb too given that dhani is in the decline of his… i know he leads us in tackles… but three young talented lbs would be smart for the future
I'd trade odom and a 3rd to Oakland for
Richard Seymour.
RIP Slim.

I'd trade Bratkowski
for a bowl of pudding, we’ll be picky and ask for chocolate
I'd trade Brat for a bratwurst
Or 2 day old sushi, whatever. Hell we should give someone money to take him.
Deal of the century
Trade the Palmer brothers for a competent QB/O-cord. combination.

Yea because QB's don't need to know the offense.
lets see how much they can learn by sunday…
Sports = Money.
Trade Andre Smith
Trade him for a performance based conditional draft pick based from the 2012 draft
That won't work
Last time I checked they don’t have a 20th round, so a conditional performance-based pick isn’t possible.
winners
For guaranteed picks every week look into the Baron Capper on www.bettorbelieveit.com. I have been following the guy for a while and he is 6-1 in MLB playoff picks so far and 15-5 in last 20 football picks. The customer service is legit too.
I'd make some kind of trade for
Logan Mankins. He’s griping about getting paid in New England and it seems they want to dump him to some other team. As a Left Guard, he’s a beast. We could use somebody like him on the line, especially a LG.
Odom + 3rd round draft pick for Mankins
How about that? Not that it would ever happen, but I’d be willing to do it. Our line needs a LG and some talent in a bad way.
This is our year!
That would have been a great trade.
I wish it had happened.
Win a ring without the king! Cavs=2011 champs?
Maybe im nuts...
But I’d trade Benson for a good Olineman or DT. BScott could be feature back w help from Leonard and Peerman. Plus his contract is up after this year. It seems though any trade is for picks..

Trade A Receiver for Defense
Trade Chad like New England traded Moss, still enough market value to get something good for him. This would make room for a few guys to step up and prove their worth to the Bengals on offense. Will the bengals make a play for Merriman? We are the “Island of Misfit Toys!” Draft picks are OK if we get a defensive guy with the upsides of Gresham has on offense. Wonder if we shouldn’t ask for 2012 picks, curious to see if underclassman who would come out this year stay until 2012 to see what happens with the possible lockout? 2012 draft could be fat with talent. Getting an extra high round pick to take a young QB would be nice but a good free agent QB can step in quicker.
As for all the Brat comments…YESSSS…..FIRE BRATSUCKSKI trade him whatever, just get him out of town. Norv Turner might be available soon, good coordinator, bad head coach!

I hired Norv Turner as my offensive coordinator on Madden.
Having Turner and Zimmer with Marvin as head coach would be pretty damn cool. Not that it would ever happen, though.

Corn on the Kolb
Kevin Kolb is expendable at Philly for the right price.
JJ and Chad might get it done.
I like Logan Mankins too. But NE would fleece us for him as would Philly.
With a GM Bengals could make sound moves also!
Wonder what other team owners & GMs think about dealing with Bengals leadership? Can’t believe that many want to deal with people so out of touch with the game.

If I was another GM, I'd love to take advantage of their ignorance.
Other GMs can get some steals at our expense.

i just had the best revelation ever… trade mike brown and bob bratowski for some cowboys cheerleaders and let Chad and TO be our owners/GMS… we would be aweswome… can you imagine the atmosphere in the jungle LOL
We realy do'nt trade darft picks

Bengals should trade
Charlie Joyner to the Chargers for Coy Bacon. Oh wait. That was the last in season trade the Bengals made.
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
Trade deadline is too short
Week six come on people,every other sports plays at least around a hundred games,ithey need too make a push or splash then they do it.The NFL gives our techmo bowel owner a chance too prove that he is the best
The Bengals sit idle at the trade deadline and don't address any glaring holes? There's a shocker!!!
It ain't easy being greasy...
