Bengals scrap Ebiketie trade, GM reassures Eagles
The Cincinnati Bengals withdrew their offer for defensive end Arnold Ebiketie, and general manager Duke Tobin, speaking through head coach Zac Taylor, told the Philadelphia Eagles they remain a valued trade partner, Bleeding Green Nation reported. Earlier, Cincy Jungle said the team began scouting free-agent edge rushers after the aborted deal. ESPN had noted that the trade was initially announced as a swap of a 2027 sixth-round pick for Ebiketie, but NBC Sports reported the Bengals called off the transaction when they learned it would require a future compensatory draft pick.
