Trade Bengals must make during 2026 NFL season bye week

The Cincinnati Bengals’ Week 6 bye arrives as a chance to fix a vulnerable secondary ahead of a Week 7 showdown with the Baltimore Ravens, according to the proposal in the article. Despite momentum from a 31-24 road win over Miami, where Joe Burrow threw four touchdown passes and safety Jordan Battle recorded two interceptions, Cincinnati allowed 217 rushing yards and the back end remains a concern. General manager Duke Tobin has a short window to act before the next test. The piece argues Cincinnati should target Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Zyon McCollum, citing his size (6-foot-2, 199 pounds), experience in man and zone, and that he has started all five games for Tampa Bay this season, with six passes defensed and prior career production including three interceptions.
