They drafted a replacement. He left for more money. I'm not sure the sticking to?

Big question mark after the injury. But reports are he's going to play with his brother, anyway.

I haven't had a chance to see what (or if) the Bengals offered, but my guess is that had something to do with it. The rumors I've heard was they were offering the same kind of money, but only wanted a 1 or 2 year deal. Which, to me, is understandable.
