Bengals trade candidates after preseason Week 2 vs. Bears

After Cincinnati’s preseason Week 2 game versus the Chicago Bears, the Bengals identified several roster areas that may be too crowded heading into final cuts, creating potential trade candidates. The article frames Cincinnati as willing to make deals, citing past moves like acquiring BJ Hill. Among the proposed candidates are defensive lineman McKinnley Jackson, who hasn’t made a big impact in preseason despite being a former third-round pick; offensive lineman Jalen Rivers, viewed as more of an audition for another team; and wide receiver Mitch Tinsley, with the unit already deep due to players such as Colbie Young and established options like Dohnte Meyers. The Bengals also look for more veteran options at linebacker and swing tackle depth.
