Yet another Bengals defender wants out of Cincinnati as the trade deadline approaches now DT McKinnley Jackson making his request. A 2024 third-round pick, the former Texas A&M standout hasn’t had many opportunities since they drafted him. So far this year, he has spent most of his time as a healthy scratch. Now he wants a fresh starter elsewhere.
Jackson is just the latest Bengals defender to request a trade this year, starting with Trey Hendrickson. The 2024 first-team All-Pro even skipped training camp and threatened to skip games. He eventually signed an extension, however, and reported, but has underwhelmed after missing the offseason.
