Someone asked Jensen or his agent whether he would be interested in playing with the Bengals or not, and he/agent probably said, "Sure."
When asked about what the contract would be, someone probably shared (accurately) 3 years, $39 mill.
Someone might have incorrectly connected the dots to think Bengals for 3 years, $39 mill was a done deal.
Makes sense. We also have to temper our free agent expectations by recognizing the Bengals are relatively infants with this whole FA-thing. Going all in on guys like Reader and Hendrickson during the FA period is new stuff for this organization. I'm still hopeful the OL improves over the next few days.
