Should the Bengals have made the trade for Arnold Ebiketie ANYWAY?! Good perspective from @John__Sheeran, plus thoughts on Shemar Stewart, no other moves at the trade deadline, Sunday's game and more! All guests delivered by @BaxlaTractor! Watch: linktw.in/egeqms

Nick joined the show today to discuss this tweet, this Bengals trade deadline deal that was agreed to, but not completed, the comp picks process and more! Watch: linktw.in/vfgxzz
Arnold Ebiketie was signed as a compensatory free agent by the Eagles. The Bengals lost 3 CFAs and signed 2 (Cordell Volson not qualifying), thus while they gain a 2027 6th rounder, they lose a 2027 3rd round comp pick that was via Trey Hendrickson going to Baltimore.

.@John__Sheeran said he STILL would've made the trade for Arnold Ebiketie, even though it would've cost the Bengals a potential third round compensatory pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. Do you agree that the Bengals should've still made the trade?
12%Yes. Pass Rush Help!
56%No, Too Costly!
32%Yes ONLY With a 2nd Trade
