How one tweet apparently caused Bengals to nix trade

The Cincinnati Bengals reportedly cancelled a trade for Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie after a post on X highlighted its draft-pick cost. The proposed deal would have sent Cincinnati a 2027 sixth-round pick, but the Bengals could also have lost a 2027 third-round compensatory pick tied to Trey Hendrickson’s move to Baltimore. The trade deadline passed Tuesday, and the report says the social-media analysis helped derail the transaction.
