The Cincinnati Bengals have called off a trade for defensive end Arnold Ebiketie, according to a report from Josh Alper of ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports. The transaction, which would have brought the pass rusher to Cincinnati, was terminated on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
Ebiketie, a former second-round draft pick, has been seeking a fresh start after limited opportunities with his current team. The Bengals had reportedly been in discussions to acquire the edge defender to bolster their pass rush, but the deal fell through for undisclosed reasons.
No further details about the compensation involved or the specific reasons for the trade's collapse were immediately available. The Bengals continue to evaluate options to strengthen their defensive front as the season progresses.
