It was impossible to judge the Bengals defensive roster in less than a day...
He could look up their pff scores lol.
Yeah, he was able to leverage the Bengals offer/interest into an extension and pay raise at Florida. Before he talked about the roster as being the reason, he had cited Mullen, family and Gainesville as the factors why he stayed. Then his new deal with UF was announced the following day.
I'm not sure how serious he was about coming to Cincinnati in the first place. Sounds like he wanted to stay in Florida all along, and negotiating with the Bengals led to UF sweetening his deal there.
