I'd venture to say that if it weren't for the Lamar Jackson deal, Queen might have had his 5th year option picked up while they negotiated an extension. However, Queen is not alone in not having his option picked up, only 12 of 32 possible did. I think that it's more economics than a testament on the player's performance.
If anything, it should benefit the Bengals in negotiations with Wilson, as there will be a glut of very talented LBs in the next free agency period.
As I said: It's simple supply and demand. I love Wilson, have him in my sig; but I understand the sacrifices we must make.
KC is currently the king (we are the king slayers) and it seems their formula is to keep Mahomes, Kelce, a decent oline, and Chris Jones. Play Chess with the rest of the pieces.
