Bengals have held all the cards with this and his agent did him no favors by asking for the trade and hasn't done many favors by trying to play hardball again with the team after Bates.  It has been too well known that there are too many good receivers in this year's draft and Tee missed too much playing time last year as well. He'll play on the tag and the Bengals can still tag him again if there's nobody they feel can take his place on the team. I think it's the main reason nobody offered up a suitable trade offer.  Nothing would make me feel better about the whole thing if his agent got nothing remarkable from his shitty tactics. The front office is certainly aware of him with every intent of sticking it to him if at all possible.
