Exact same thing happened last year when everyone blamed the Bengals for not giving Bates an extension.
It takes two to make a deal and sometimes it is the players fault.
Lots of Bengal fans still cite Eric Steinbach and Kevin Zeitler of examples of the Bengals being cheap, but both of those guys were overpaid and it would have been a mistake for the Bengals to give them even more money.
Dan Snyder wa a big fan of "Just pay the players whatever they want", and how did that work out for him?
