Bengals urged to trade first-round pick for Jonathan Taylor
Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals are being urged to trade a first-round draft pick for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor before the NFL trade deadline on November 10. Sports Illustrated's Gilberto Manzano suggests that Cincinnati's current 5-2 record and offensive struggles, including a recent game where they managed only 75 rushing yards, make this a necessary move. The Bengals are seeking to capitalize on their championship window with key players like Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase. Taylor's contract extends through the 2028 season, making him a long-term asset if acquired.
