The trade between the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles for pass-rusher Arnold Ebiketie is off, sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
The Bengals called off the trade with an eye toward retaining a future compensatory pick that they would have lost had they made the deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The third-round comp pick the Bengals were receiving for losing Trey Hendrickson in free agency would have been canceled out if the deal went through, ESPN's Adam Schefter adds.
It was reported that Cincinnati was going to send a sixth-round pick to Philadelphia for Ebiketie.
More to come.
