I doubt Gio is going to be willing to take a 68% pay cut this year to stay here.

Thanks for the details. I'm just spit-balling #s. By leaking this to the media, in addition to letting other teams know he's available, they are letting Bernard's camp know if he wants to stay in Cincy, his # is going to have to come down. If the Bengals cut him, he may not make $2M or whatever # Cincy has in mind as a free agent.
