INDIANAPOLIS – Calls came in from around the league to Cincinnati Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin Tuesday afternoon about John Ross.

"Fairy tales," Tobin said he told everybody inquiring about trade rumors involving the wide receiver and former first-round pick. Tobin and first-year Bengals head coach Zac Taylor relayed the message to the masses Wednesday at the NFL Combine.

"We have had no discussions internally or externally on John Ross, so I don't know where that came from," Tobin said.
