And the longer he sits, the less chances he gets paid like he wants. Minnesota is chatting about him, but they don't even have 10m in cap space, so he's going to have to bend on his number IF he wants to play this year.

Plus if his knees are so bad that he can't practice can we trust him to be healthy for 21 games? 

Again, only missed one game in 5 years. Dude knows his body and only 5 centers graded higher than him last year.
Do you think he's the ONLY player in the League that doesn't practice but plays the game??

And he likely will be til he comes down on his price. I have been seeing teams jumping and signing some vets on the cheap lately, so teams with need and cap space is diminishing.

And for all we know, the Bengals might not even consider his position a need. They seem content to roll with who they have now. It's some of us fans that want them to finish the OL overhaul and put the best we can out there with out relying on unknown's.
