Bengals consider trade moves as NFL deadline approaches

The Cincinnati Bengals, holding a 6-2 record, are exploring trade options ahead of the NFL deadline. Issues persist in the running game and defensive depth. Although a trade for Colts RB Jonathan Taylor appears unlikely due to cost, they may pursue additional help at running back. A potential reunion with former player Jessie Bates of the Falcons is also being discussed as the Bengals look to strengthen their roster amid injury concerns. The deadline presents an opportunity for strategic moves to enhance both offense and defense.
