Speculated Bengals trade target would boost defense, but at a big cost

The Cincinnati Bengals are in the market for some defensive upgrades this offseason. They're reportedly willing to spend more than they have to help Joe Burrow in that regard, too.

Who knows what that means in the context of Cincinnati's typical M.O. This is a notoriously cheap franchise. Parting with beloved draft assets, never mind money, feels like a Herculean task. Duke Tobin and the powers that be must've agonized over that pick swap trade for Joe Flacco.

Enough shade-throwing. A respected ESPN analyst just predicted the Bengals as the suitor for a potential trade target.
