Exactly.
When the guy admits that the lack of contract affected his play (either by getting in his head (which I don't believe can happen) or by intentionally dogging it (which I do believe did happen)), how can you not expect him to do the exact same thing?
I bet his agent just cringed when he admitted that last year. So for 17 games last year he was average at best, then he turns it on for 4 postseason games and the Bengals should reward him for that?
With having Burrow, Chase and Co., I don't see any reason to overpay people. Jesse, you gotta string together 2 solid seasons in a row to get that great contract. $18-20 million a year is ridiculous, because this guy isn't taking over games like a Troy Polamalu.
