Everything I saw was Dave Lapham saying we offered similar contract figures to what Iloka got but didn't wanna give him the guaranteed or the number of years Iloka got.

Is it really the Bengals fault Nelson and his agent wanted the Bengals to shell out a ton of money for a 32 year old safety when they have a guy that has shown flashes when he could get on the field ?

People are constantly bitching about not getting Nelson back but in the end Nelson was on the market for a long time and when he finally did sign it was a short term contract for 2 years 8.5 mil with 4 mil guaranteed, this is from the organization that was just throwing money at players this off-season and that is the best he could get. So if that was the best offer he was getting do you really believe that the Bengals didn't offer something pretty damn close to that early on?

I think you and many others are vastly overrating what Nelson is worth(including his agent) and considering how long it took for a team to offer him that small short term contract I don't think NFL teams rate him as high as many of you.
