PRICE CHECK: Is Jonathan Taylor worth it? DEFENSIVE Targets Make More Sense for Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals keep coming up as a potential destination for Jonathan Taylor as trade rumors swirl—does his price outweigh his fit in Zac Taylor’s offense? A Christian McCaffrey-sized package for Taylor seems excessive, especially when considering his fit with the Bengals offense and dig into how much better he is than Chase Brown. Joe Goodberry and Jake Liscow debate smarter use of draft capital, spotlighting potential defensive trade targets like Khalil Mack in the wake of Cashius Howell's injury, or back 7 help where they could use a talent injection. With the NFL trade deadline approaching, the Bengals’ next move could redefine their playoff trajectory.
