REPORT: Bengals LB Germaine Pratt requests trade

Deadspin | Report: Bengals LB Germaine Pratt requests tradeCincinnati Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt (57) tackles Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (87) in the fourth quarter of the AFC championship game on Jan. 30, 2022, at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt has requested a trade from the team, NFL Network reported on Wednesday.

Per the report, Pratt was close with former Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. The latter was fired by the Bengals following the conclusion of last season and hired to the same position by the Indianapolis Colts.

The Bengals, in turn, hired Al Golden as their defensive coordinator after he spent the past three seasons at the same post with Notre Dame. That stint followed two years as the Bengals’ linebackers coach from 2020-21, with Pratt on the team at the time.

Cincinnati (9-8) finished 25th in both scoring defense (25.5) and total defense (348.3) this past season.

Pratt, 28, recorded a career-high 143 tackles to go along with two interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 17 games (all starts) last season.

He has 616 tackles, seven picks, seven forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries in 96 career games (88 starts). He was selected by the Bengals in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
