The Bengals have a Burrow extension looming next season. Does anyone think they will set aside that much cap room to play a game of chicken they lost the previous year? The team has the option to tag him again, but it's not really feasible.
In my opinion, The Steelers lost the standoff. Bell lost the standoff. Nobody won this. Bell, recently admitted that nobody has provided him an opportunity since the Steelers. Both sides lost this deal.
I don't think anyone will disagree that the Jets lost on this deal the most though. LOL
