I don't mind MJ leaving. I liked him and wished they could have kept him, but not at those numbers. Jones was valued at about 5.5 mil per year...the Lions paid him 8 mil per year. Good for him that he got paid. But if the Bengals had overpaid him like the Lions did, that would hamper our ability to sign others (like Eifert and Zeitler) coming up. No doubt Jones looked at being the #2 option in Detroit, with a decent QB throwing to him, versus a # 3 option (behind Green and Eifert) here at best. He will get more targets, and more money. I don't deny him his chance to do that. I am glad the Bengals didn't pay 8 mil per year for him though. I am also just glad he didnt go to the browns. Good luck Marvin, thanks for your time here.
