Bengals dragged into Rams, Sean McVay draft drama via new report

Q: Why are the Bengals mentioned in the Rams' draft decisions?

The Bengals are mentioned due to unexpected connections involving Sean McVay and the Rams' selection of quarterback Ty Simpson.

Q: What was Sean McVay's reaction to the Rams drafting Ty Simpson?

Sean McVay appeared unhappy about the Rams drafting quarterback Ty Simpson at No. 13 overall.

The Cincinnati Bengals weren’t involved in Round 1 of the NFL draft this year.

But their name has managed to come up in reports.

Thank a weird, unexpected combination of things like Sean McVay, the Los Angeles Rams and Joe Flacco.

For those out of the loop, the Rams drafted quarterback Ty Simpson at No. 13 overall. McVay…didn’t look too happy about it.

And now here comes ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reporting that, due to the Jimmy Garoppolo retirement, the Rams made an attempt to sign Flacco.

But, as Bengals fans surely know, Flacco chose to end his trip to free agency earlier than expected, re-signing with the team that traded for him last year and choosing to be Joe Burrow’s top backup.

So in a funny twist of fate, everyone on the planet partially has Flacco and the Bengals to thank for the trainwreck storyline that is the Rams right now.
