As if watching the two teams involved in Trent McDuffie's recent big move from the Chiefs to the Rams wasn't painful enough for the Cincinnati Bengals to witness, his new contract adds insult to injury.
McDuffie landing in LA was, in theory, supposed to help the Bengals' 2026 NFL Draft. The Chiefs, who pick ninth overall right before Cincinnati, could easily use that first-round selection to take McDuffie's successor.
That was supposed to be good news for the Bengals. Because they could have one more potential blue-chip prospect slide a tad further down the board for them to choose from.
