I think there are a few things going on here:
1. Nobody knows the price he's asking. I know he said he would return to SF on a $5 million deal, but that doesn't mean that he isn't asking for more to switch teams.
2. If he can't give a straight answer about his intentions to protest, than that tells me that he isn't comfortable discussing that with a new team's owner. That in itself is a red flag. If a guy can't be straight forward about what he plans on doing, than how can the team be straight forward about offering him a contract?
3. You know damn well the Bengals are NEVER active in 1st tier free agents (and he is a first tier guy at S, he just hasn't received an offer). There's no doubt in my mind that the Bengals talked to his agent and offered him much less than $5 million.
