Bengals take responsibility for botched NFL trade with Eagles: ‘It was on our end’

The Bengals aren’t beating the allegations. Cincinnati could only offer an apology to the Eagles after admitting it backed out of a trade after miscalculating the comp-formula price the transaction would have on its future draft picks. Rumors emerged that the Bengals only did so after seeing a tweet stating it would lose a third-round compensatory pick by acquiring edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie for a sixth-round pick, and Cincinnati did little to dispel that narrative with its public messaging Wednesday.
