And those discussions were happening before the shenanigans that happened at his house. They were based on his production compared to his contract and the cap saving by letting him go this year.
That said, now I'm wondering if that will happen. If the Bengals were convinced to let him go for the cap savings and to move on I think maybe they would have done that by now with the post-June 1st designation. It would not free up cap space until June 2nd. But that way it would have done him a solid by giving him more time to be part of the free agent market. Business is business though so things may very well change.
I am getting a bit concerned as well I really would like to break ties with him completely not just a pay cut. A pay cut will not improve his production as a RB. I hear a lot of talk about honoring his contract as well but if we do that not only does it cost us 12 million this year but 12 million next year as well since he is under contract for two more years.
