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.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
