The Bengals are trading up for a big name in a proposed deadline deal

The Cincinnati Bengals will apparently be buyers until this week's NFL trade deadline.

That makes proposed trade ideas from across the NFL landscape pretty interesting to look at, to say the least.

Case in point, a trade idea that sends pass rusher Chase Young from the New Orleans Saints to Cincinnati, courtesy of the 33rd team's Tyler Booke:

Bengals fans don't need to be told how bad the team's pass rush is outside of Trey Hendrickson. You also don't have to tell anyone about Young, the former Ohio State star who was taken second overall in 2020.

In this proposed deal, the Bengals give up just a fifth-round pick and get back Young and a 2026 sixth-round pick. And he also has a one-year contract that will keep him for half a season as the team hopes to advance to the playoffs.

Compared to the Bengals' other trade ideas, this is more in line with what the Bengals should be aiming for – converting mediocre assets into proven production.

Yes, Young didn't live up to draft expectations and there are issues or he wouldn't be available. But he could shine in Cincinnati's scheme opposite Hendrickson, which would put the Bengals in a better position to compete now and potentially retain a roughly 25-year-old roster long-term.
