"We don't know for certain what JC's demands are. We've heard he wants to be the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL with 2-years left on his contract. All we know is it's the Bengal's fault".
Don't we have to go by there track record. As Marin Lewis would say "I see better than I hear". The Bengals have not done a good job recently of communicating with players or in my opinion treating them very well. It is a business but it's a business with people that put alot of hard work in to be able to perform at this level. There's the poor communication stories from guys like Whitworth, Dunlap and Jonah. I mean Whitworth, Bates and now Tee are probably a big reason why Chase wants paid now. All these guys are either tagged or on the last year of they're deal and we're just like "we'll just draft your replacement and let you walk in a year". Which not only have the two that have gone to completion worked out poorly for us but it is clearly mentally taxing on these players.
On a side note. What is up with this 10%equity thing. I know it just passed and I only heard about it this morning. But it was sold as a way for teams to get liquid cash to pay for guarantees for players. I thought this is what the Bengals need only to hear that it passed on a vote of 31-1. Any guesses who the 1 vote was? Not a good look to have your excuse on guaranteed money to be limited cash supply then vote no on a potential fix for said problem.
