Sources tell me the Cincinnati Bengals are hoping to trade receiver John Ross and will field offers during the combine. We'll have more tonight during our podcast.

We need another receiving threat IMO. Why not get this guy? He scored 7 TD’s last year. DAT is done and we need another version of Albert Wilson for this offense.
If you can get him for a 5th or 6th, do it. That’s a cheap contract for 2 more seasons and the ROI will surely be better than a pick at the end of the 5th or 6th rd. [Reply]
I'm actually starting to get convinced. Provided the Bengals would do it. The lack of receivers this year in free agency might make some desperate team with lots of picks like the Raiders fork over a 3rd rounder though. [Reply]

Sorry man, not interested
This offense doesn't need another DAT or Wilson... we lit up the league last year with Wilson in Miami and DAT on the bench [Reply]
We would bring him in to bolster our WRs with more depth and speed, then basically continue to rely on Hill alone because Watkins and Ross always have cracks in their glass vaginas [Reply]

I’m okay with taking a chance on Ross because he’s making roughly $2 million and would be worth a late rd pick. He’s not like Sammy who is getting an average of $20 million the next 2 years.
He’s injured often, but I like it as a depth move. If Tyreek gets hurt, we don’t have anyone anywhere close to him.
At least Ross has similar speed to Hill where he can be a burner. [Reply]
Tore his MCL in college. Tore his ACL in college. Strained his calves at the combine. Played 3 games his rookie season due to injury. Missed 3 games last year due to injury. (Had only 210 yards receiving.)
Give up draft picks for him? No way. Draft picks, esp early rounds, need to go towards defense. (Whether they're used in the draft or traded for a defensive player.) JMHO. [Reply]

Seriously, with Andy and Pat, the other weapons, just be an adequate athlete and you'll get looks.
He could come in and catch 30 balls for 500 yards simply running go routes.
You guys seriously overvalue late round picks.
Would be surprised if the Bengals agreed to a 6th rounder. He was the #9 overall pick. Guessing none of the other folks here were anticipating the Bengals accepting a 6th rounder. [Reply]

However, for a low round pick, I would give it a shot. He has more chance of turning it around that Coates does and the Chiefs are going to need another receiver.
Except he couldn’t stay healthy in college either.
When the Bengals drafted him in the 1st, I just figured...because, Bengals, lol. [Reply]
