"The Bengals’ offer was probably disrespectful to a leader like him, who suffered through some bad years. I’ve seen several posts from bengals fans saying he’s paid too much at 8mil/year. Evan Engram got 10mil!! The Jets simply value him more than the Bengals."
Evan Engram is a big slot receiver. Teams actually inquired about him as a receiver and not really a TE. Also the Jaguars over paid everyone.
CJ Uzomah got high end money for what he does as a do it all solid TE. Bengals probably offered a competitive contract like usual but the Jets offered more just how it is some players leave.
I will say I am not satisfied with Hayden Hurst because he is not a better all around TE. I expect the Bengals to target a TE on Day 2 of the draft.
