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.  

Are we actually trying to make believe that somehow his agent went rogue and did something that Tee didn't want but is still being employed by Tee? Mulugheta is just doing the job that Tee hired him for and wanted him to do. If Tee doesn't want to be somewhere, Mulugheta has to try to get him out. If Tee wants more guaranteed money before he will sign an extension, Mulugheta has to try to get him more guaranteed money. That's his job, he works for Tee who can tell him to stop or fire him at any given time he decides he doesn't like what is happening.
