Like the way he's playing not to get hurt or not, he's a big part of our backfield, and when he's in "Playoff Jessie" mode he's one of the best safeties in the game. And you can never have too many DB's. That said, if he still wants stupid money then don't let the door hit ya on the way out.
This is the way I feel. If a lot of his gripe was the amount of guaranteed money then hopefully the Bengals pay up. But if he's wanting top money than we have no choice but to move on.
