The Cincinnati Bengals rank 30th in the NFL in points allowed per drive and had to hold a players-only meeting to fix things. But well, it seems like the situation is going from bad to worse for the new defensive coordinator, Al Golden, as yet another player wants out before the November 4 deadline.

According to insider Adam Schefter, defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson is the newest player to request a trade or release.

“Bengals defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson has requested a trade or release, a source told ESPN’s Ben Baby,” he wrote on X.
