Bengals silent at NFL trade deadline despite rumored interest in help
It turns out the Cincinnati Bengals trading for running back Khalil Herbert was not a sign of things to come for the team at the NFL trade deadline.
The Bengals sat still at the deadline despite obvious needs along the defensive line and at other positions.
It was a bit strange, considering The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported roughly one hour before the deadline that the team was on the hunt for help on the interior of that defensive line.
Despite expiring contract names like Calais Campbell and Chase Young out there on middling teams, the Bengals didn't get something done.
Barring an arrival via free agency or waiver wire, the Bengals will stick with the roster they have and hope to make a playoff push. That starts on Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens.
