Making your HC apologize for you bungling a trade opportunity is really...something.
quote:

Zac Taylor: "Obviously, we tried something yesterday. Duke was very explicit with me when he came and spoke to me about how he wanted this portrayed. I'm not comfortable doing it, but I'm going to do what he asked. We did make an effort to put some depth in there in place of Cashius. As we got into it, it was going to be more costly than we initially anticipated. He's really apologetic about it and wants it made clear. Philly was a great trade partner. It was on our end. Certainly we have a ton of confidence in our front office and how they do things. They've given us the players that have allowed us to be 6-2 right now, playing at such a high level."

This is almost as bad as the Eagles front office sending out Sirianni to talk about Jalen Hurts and the blood clot issue.

Some random guy from Twitter reminded them if they made that trade they would lose the comp third round pick and then they cancelled it.

What an organization.

That's the 2nd time that guy saved the Bengals from messing up, last time he got them an extra 3rd round pick.

Someone really needs to ask the Bengals GM how is it that he didn’t know the cost of the trade

Why do that when you can hide in your office and send out your subordinate to take the heat for you?

not some "random" guy he specializes in comp picks and actually alerted the NFL they miscalculated and turned a 6th round comp pick into a 3rd for the Bengals.

Yesterday the Cincinnati front office proved once again how Joe Burrow is carrying that franchise on his back. Every contending team in the AFC (minus Pittsburgh) went out and made moves to improve their weaknesses.

Cincinnati... nah, our defense is just fine.
