Bengals’ Germaine Pratt requests trade in NFL offseason shocker
NY Post
Bengals veteran linebacker Germaine Pratt has requested a trade after six seasons, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Pratt, 28, led the Bengals in tackles last season, adding two interceptions and two forced fumbles.
He ranked 10th in the NFL in tackles with 143 — the most in a season by a Bengal since Vontaze Burfict in 2013.
Pratt’s trade request came after the Bengals fired defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, with whom he was close, last month after six seasons.
The Bengals missed the playoffs and their defense was ranked 25th in the league.
They brought back Al Golden to replace Anarumo after he served as the Bengals’ linebackers coach from 2020-21.

It’s kind of funny if you think about it. For years, for decades — hell, for damn near half a century — it was the Yankees who would cause others in major league baseball to shake their heads, raise a fist, and make angry, bitter exclamations.
