Have you been able to find any video or an interview quote with the question that led to the leverage comment? I haven’t, which I also think is weird. Usually the question that led to a comment like that is explained. If the question was, “do you want to play for the Bengals” and he answered about leverage, then yes, that’s weird and concerning. If the question was, “do you feel you have any leverage during this process” then the leverage comment isn’t weird. It’s specifically addressing the question. Who is possibly going to say, “no, I have zero leverage in this whole thing. I’m stuck with whatever happens to me.” That comment probably gets picked apart more than his original answer.
