‘It Was On Our End’: NFL Head Coach Apologizes For Unsuccessful Trade

Cincinnati Bengals coach Zac Taylor apologized Wednesday for the team’s failed attempt to trade for Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie before Tuesday’s NFL deadline. Taylor said the deal fell apart because the Bengals found the cost higher than expected, and stressed that Philadelphia had been a good trade partner. The proposed exchange would have sent a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Eagles.
