The Cincinnati Bengals have made a trade! They’re sending a 2025 seventh round pick to the Chicago Bears for running back Khalil Herbert.
James Rapien explains why he likes the move, how Herbert will fit next to Chase Brown with Zack Moss out with a neck injury and also discusses what else could be coming ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline!

Solid, but you can't stop here.
For a 7th rounder, and we fill an immediate need, good trade. I'm shocked that they traded at all (Remind me when we made any trades to at the deadline other than the Carson Pamer trade). WHO DEY!!!!!!
What kind of neck injury does Moss have?
I like this trade. Giving a 7th rounder for him don't hurt my feelings at all. Now defense defense defense. Get a corner and/or DE and/or a blitzing linebacker. Micah Parsons would make me cry tears of joy but it's not possible. We gonna get marathon lattimore just watch. I don't like what it'll cost though. Give up a 3rd rounder for Reddick or Crosby and throw in tanner Hudson. Give whatever they fuck the cowboys want for Micah Parsons
Fellas, he is small, like Geico Gecko small, and so "good" that Chicago, who is 4 n 4 , wasn't using him. Why? Listed at 5 ft 9 and 212, I bet he is really 5 ft 7.4 inches tall and weighs in at 202 lbs without the helmet and pads.
The important stats are this year ONLY. We get this year's KH, not the previous years and running backs have a short shelf life. This year 8 shuffles for a total of 16 yards. 2 receptions for a grand amount of 4 yards. In a TOTAL of 10 endeavors, KH provided 20 yards. Where are the chunk plays?!!! James , brother you are a sling the ball around the ole' yard kinda guy, you think KH is going to be a weapon for Joe??? Seriously brother c'mon.
Giving up even a 7th rounder for a used car with too many miles is not trying to win. A no name rookie off the street or a rookie on someone's practice squad could bring similar value, except at least they have a fresh body. This is so minimal of an effort that unless this guy goes out and beats the Ravens single handedly, I grade it as an F. Maybe today Mike Brown and Jermain Burton can compare pajamas at the office today.
Someone please CUE up the BOOOS
Trade for marshon lattimmore and ogulari
We really dropped the ball by not signing derrick Henry and letting him go to baltiwhore
Trash trade another dumb move
Who dey 🧡🖤🏈🤫💪 LFG. But please don't stop there! Go get Trey some help.
Slow your rolls on this. This is a move they could have made AFTER they addressed the DE and CB issues. This is simply a move to say that they made a move. It's crap.
Probably be the only trade they make
People mad on who dey nation over this but its completely necessary post on there and tell them why
How good is he on pass protection?
Today hell actually froze over, Bengals actually made a mid season trade
Omg I think all our complaining finally worked 😅🎉
Supposedly the Bengals are interested in Chase Young too. Hopefully, they stay aggressive!!
He averaged 7.7 per carry as a senior at VT and averages close to 5.0 (4.8) in the NFL, that is a great stat line.
Keep the foot on the pedal Duke. Go get help on the other side of the ball!
Good value good trade.
From tackling Joe one week to being on his team the next? I’m still on the max crosby pipe dream😭
I’ll fully admit when I was wrong didn’t see this coming. Though this is doing the minimum. Again I didn’t see them doing this but getting a CB or DE we are acting like an actual contender. This seems more like they are trying to keep Joe happy more than trying to win a Lombardi.
Now let's trade for Clowney or Campbell.
Our front office is rxtarded. If you asked Burrow which side of the ball needed additions I guarantee he would say defense.
We actually did a trade OMG!!!!
And Chase Brown obviously needs 20 carries a game. Running backs sign up to get hit all day and the real ones love it.
James & fellow Bengals fans that seems to be a 'no brainer' that was an immediate need. I'd be really surprised if they made any other moves.
Tbh its not enough
We get a good pass rusher it will make our corners better. Deion Sanders can't cover for 5 seconds.
Can he pass protect that's the question
Lets go Bengals!!
Now let’s Fire our damn Coach!!! Looks at the Commander and Cards.. fired their coaches and are good teams now! Why can’t bears do the same
Marshon Lattimore!
So no Pass Rusher or CB?
This might be the only trade we get in. I can’t see them doing another
It's a roster spot filled..about it…
This dude averaged 5.7 yards a carry 2 years ago… high 4s consistently. Pff grades always in the high 70s.
Why wasnt he playing this year?
That Bengal helmet behind your head is bad ass. Wish the team would wear that scheme with the all orange uniforms.
I owe you an apology James 😂 I thought you were full of shit thinking we might actually make moves
Definitely Armageddon must be close by. Bengals made a trade this is unconscionable.
How do you feel about the potential move for chase young ?
Die hard Bears fan here with a scouting report for Herbert.
He’s a solid back. He’s gonna break more tackles than you think he will. He’s not blazing with speed but fast enough. Ball security is not an issue. He’s gonna go north to south with just enough shift and wiggle to make you happy with him as a fan. He’s a solid lockeroom vet that has extremly fresh legs, he’s hungry and happy as hell to leave Chicago. He’s not the best pass receiver but capable and leaves something to be desired in pass protection more than not. All on all if we’re just talking about between the 20’s running and short yardage gains he will fill these needs nicely. If you want YAC or the homerun ball this is not your guy. He will more than likely benefit and compliment the Bengals elite passing game very nicely. Solid player. Enjoy… you won the trade hands down
Okay good I got that done now where is the edge? Rusher
Don't understand it. You definitely got a good running back. Sorry to see him go. The Bears were not using Khalil Herbert. He always played great.
Love it now let’s get an edge rusher plz
Now we need a DE, CB, LB, hell we need a goddam whole new defense
LMAO getting an RB for a 7th is absolutely not being aggressive hahaha. This is a pathetic move that barely moves the needle unless we make some actual moves and help the defense
We needa a DL
7th rounder for a rb pretty solid move
Defense or it doesn’t matter
They should've got King Henry like I said all off season
