They seem to treat their players like morons.  They disrespect them with their offers and wonder why they want to play somewhere else.  There's no sense of the Bengals figuring out how to meet the players' needs in a way that's mutually beneficial.  They expect the players to fall into line.

They're old school, "Don't let the inmates run the asylum".

But this is a business where you need to figure out what your employees need in order for you to put a product together to please your customer.  In a real sense your employees have become a customer themselves. 

I think Mike brown believes he's loyal to his players and he expects them to reciprocate. 

Which is silly. Drafting a guy abd waiting till the final year of their deal to play them considerably or resigning a guy isnt being loyal to them.
