The Cincinnati Bengals remain likely to move on from linebacker Germaine Pratt at some point this offseason after the veteran’s trade request.

While much of the attention when it comes to trade rumors in Cincinnati (incorrectly) focuses on Trey Hendrickson, Pratt continues to fly a little under the radar. He’s been away from the team since the swap from Lou Anarumo to Al Golden as defensive coordinator and the Bengals followed that up by drafting two linebackers.

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox, at least, puts Pratt in his top five on a trade big board, suggesting the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Rams as fits.

“The Colts, who employ former Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, should consider bringing Pratt into the fold. Indy ranked 29th in total defense last season, and Pratt “was close” to Anarumo, according to Rapoport.”

As always, Pratt’s struggles last season, his $8.2 million cap hit and how obvious it is he’s done in Cincinnati make it hard for a trade to happen.

Teams like the Rams and especially the Anarumo-coordinated Colts might be much more inclined to wait around and see if and when the Bengals cut Pratt.

Those Bengals drafted Demetrius Knight and Barrett Carter to form a rejuvenated linebacker group with Logan Wilson still at the heart of the unit.
