"tHe BurrOw EffEcT"

[CJD]

I think you could reasonably assume that the Bengals are waiting on Collins and Armstead to make a decision (or in Collins' case, the Cowboys to make a decision) before committing any money because they don't know how much money they're going to have to commit to RT and don't want to take themselves out of either player's market until they know how much it will cost to sign them. The last thing they'd want to do is give Conklin 8M a year, only to miss out on Armstead by 1 or 2M.
