Bengals Plan to Stand Pat Before Trade Deadline

With the NFL trade deadline approaching Tuesday, Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor said the Bengals intend to keep their current roster intact. Asked about the team’s plans for the final 24 hours before the deadline, Taylor said, “we’re good.” The comments indicate Cincinnati does not expect to make a move before the cutoff.

The Bengals have started the 2026 season 6-2 and won their last four games. That stretch came after back-to-back defeats against Pittsburgh and Jacksonville in the third and fourth weeks.

Cincinnati’s next game is a Sunday night rematch with Pittsburgh at Paycor Stadium. The Week 10 matchup is scheduled to begin at 8:20 p.m. ET, with the top position in the AFC North standings at stake.
