He definitely seems like the type of player who is looking to take a 1 year "prove-it" year.  He's young enough where he doesn't want to lock himself into a lower contract than the one he can get if he plays his out of it this year.  With it being this late into the offseason, and with the salary cap due to rise in 2022, I'd look for him to take a 1 year deal for well under 10 million.

I'd be all over this if I were the Bengals.  Of course that is assuming that he is healthy and was a salary cap casualty and there's not something else going on.  Why not take a chance at, say, 4-7 million for a year?

Turner as an all pro guard and signed 3 million one year deal
I just don't see him getting 10 million on one year deal, maybe 2 years for 10 million more likely
