If I am wrong, I have sorely misjudged Jessie.  

Feel the same way. But I also didn't understand how him not getting a contract signed before last season weighed so heavily 
on his mind and affected his game so much. These guys are paid tons of money to play this game and that is what they need 
to ALWAYS concentrate on.

The money comes along with it and they are paid WAY more than the average person.

I hope Jessie plays on the Tag and plays great. He played great in the Playoffs so it is realistic.

It is also very realistic and pretty damn likely it is his last season with our Bengals. I am okay with it with the drafting of Dax.
