We play hard ball and get the deal we want or he stays and plays RT he can’t afford to have two shocking years in a row, he either plays well or we bench him effectively ending any chances he has of getting a big payday.
He would have been better off keeping his mouth shut playing out the year and just moving on, now we hold the cards to effectively tank his career.
Agree with this.
Makes no sense for the Bengals to cut him, so we won't.
We'll either trade him for some return. Maybe slightly diminished just to get him moved.
Or we don't get a reasonable offer, and Jonah has to decide to ride the pine, or put himself in the spotlight for FA next year.
As long as the relationship between JW and the Bengals isn't a burned bridges thing, then the Bengals hold the cards on this one.
Worth bearing in mind that while the 'headline' makes it sound as if Jonah is stomping his feet around demanding this and that, it's entirely possible this was a very cordial request and if he has to stay in stripe next year, that he'd put good effort into it.
