the Bengals had him here Thur night- Saturday. By all accounts, the Bengals are still very much interested. He didn’t sign. Why? It’s one very easy answer. Money. We didn’t offer him enough. Enough in Collins eyes. He’s going on elsewhere, and most likely, will get the deal he’s looking for.
This isn’t a case of the Bengals unsure about his hip, or character. They’re still interested and “in the mix”. If we offered X, and he wants Y, give him Y so we can get a top 5 talent at a position we badly need to protect JB. For 2 years we complain how bad the line is and Joe’s gonna ruin his career with injuries, and all of a sudden we’re happy with 2 lineman FA singings. We still have 2 giant holes which will produce pressure all year. And it’s not like Jonah Williams is a pro bowler. He’s good but not great.
