Ts, it shows a lack of tact as well. I think the other GMs have MB and his staff figured out. One would think that they could have found a suitable trade partner that would have suited both parties. The money part made it difficult, but I think the minute that Bengals float a name out for possible trade the other GMs know to wait. They know that Cincy will release said player if they can't find another team to play ball.
Just an observation over the years.
We don't know all the particulars CoachMcNeil. Gio evidently didn't want to take a pay cut, we don't know if it was Gio's agent
floating around the trade either. But that is what I would do with most teams or agents floating around a name I want ratherÂ
than trading for them, wait for the cut and grab them up.
Whoever gets Gio will get one of the best backup 3rd down scat backs in the league and I think he will do well wherever he goes.
I am not bitter at this and neither should Gio be IMO.
