So I don't know every club and every contract, but I know Bengals have lived up to their end with Jonah when they weren't getting much playing time from Jonah. Plus Jonah got medical and rehab from Bengals.  

Look, I'll never forgive Chad Johnson saying he was too good to play in Cincinnati, and then Carson Palmer.  Now comes Jonah Williams.  The truth is none of them were too good to play in Cincinnati.  Better players than them have worn the Bengals uniform with Pride. 

"Top dollar" is not entirely accurate.
It's a rookie contract.

It's pretty much every company's policy that you'll get paid when getting injured on the job.

Bottom line is Jonah asked for a trade, but he never said he was sitting out if he doesn't get it.
At the end of the day, it's the Bengals' choice if they want to keep him this year or not.
But it's also fair that he feels disrespected and thus no longer wants to be part of the organization because of it.

Players don't get the luxury that many of us do and just go join another company if we don't like where we are.

Writing is on the wall though that Jonah is not a Bengal after this year.
