"The Bengals’ offer was probably disrespectful to a leader like him, who suffered through some bad years. I’ve seen several posts from bengals fans saying he’s paid too much at 8mil/year. Evan Engram got 10mil!! The Jets simply value him more than the Bengals."
I think the Bengals assumed he would re-sign and didn't get aggressive with negotiating with CJ prioritizing other free agents first. Then, of course, the tight end market kind of exploded at the beginning of free agency. He got a good offer in the media market of the NFL which bodes well for a post-playing days career desire with the added bonus of proximity to his girlfriend. He likely never went back to the Bengals negotiating table

Pretty weird for Lapham to put that out there if it’s not true.

Lapham owes CJ (and his actual gf) an apology. Kay Adams, too. Bad stuff, Lap.
