They wouldn't. They couldn't! They DID!? The Bengals traded away the 10th overall pick in the 2026 draft for Defensive Tackle Dexter Lawrence, who had requested a trade from the NY Giants. Only time will tell whether this was a wise decision, but for now, let's get excited! (And don't look at his stats from last year)

NFL Free Agency 2026 has Begun! The Bengals got off to their traditionally sluggish start, but they did eventually manage to overpay a couple of players to join the defense in 2026. While other teams were wheelin' and dealin', the Bengals seem content to maintain the status quo indefinitely. Trey Hendrickson will be back in Paycor Stadium, but wearing a purple Ravens jersey next season. Joseph Ossai left for the Jets. And the Bengals "replaced" them with Boye Mafe and his 2 sacks last season??? Bryan Cook should be much better than Geno Stone at safety, but we won't really know for 6 months when games are played. As Marvin Lewis said, "I see better than I hear".

The 2025-2026 NFL Season has concluded, the Seattle Seahawks are victorious. In this episode, we quickly recap the NFL playoffs, coaching changes around the league, and how the Bengals compare to the competition. So many teams are making changes, but the Bengals are sticking with status quo. Is there a good reason? Listen Now!

I'm still scratching my head about that Duke Tobin press conference. What was the point? I didn't hear any specific plans to improve next season beyond "working harder". The fans have reacted mostly negatively to this, so was it successful? I'm not sure. Zac Taylor is the lone remaining AFC North Head Coach. Is that an advantage? I'm not sure about that either.... Cancun on 3!

Another frustrating loss to a team the Bengals had no business losing to. The Bengals should have won this game by 25, but they found a way to lose to the hapless Browns and Shedeur Sanders, tripping over his own feet! I don't care what Zac Taylor says, he is a terrible head coach. Ja'Marr Chase doesn't have any confidence in him, why should I? But Mike Brown would like to maintain the status quo, including fans paying him money (Don't you remember that Super Bowl 4 years ago??). I think it's for the best that the season is over. I am not enjoying this anymore! #bengals #whodey #nfl

We reach the conclusion of this regular season. No playoffs this year. Another Battle of Ohio for nothing but intra-state pride. Hopefully nobody gets injured. It's probably going to look like a pre-season game, but maybe Chase Brown will get over 1,000 yards for the season. Joe Burrow is supposed to play, but maybe they will send Joe Flacco out and let Myles Garrett sack him a couple times for the record. #nfl #whodey #bengals

A win is always better than a loss. But this was about as boring as wins come. The Cardinals seemed to sleepwalk through most of this game, allowing the Bengals to do anything they wanted offensively. Joe Burrow racked up 2 TD passes to Ja'Marr Chase. Chase Brown ran in 2 more. Plus, the Bengals Defense was forcing punt after punt. It was everything you wanted the Bengals to be.... in Week 7. But don't drink the "Building Hope and Momentum for Next Season" Kool-Aid! That's how they get you!

There's really no way the Bengals should lose this game Sunday. The Cardinals are completely decimated by injuries on both sides of the ball. The Bengals have all their key offensive stars available to run the ball up and down the field against a depleted Cards D. Backup QB Jacoby Brissett doesn't scare most defenses. And yet, somehow this game feels like it will be close. #nfl #whodey #bengals
