They let Bates walk, they didn’t extend Tee, they let Reader walk, etc. It will be “same old cheap Bengals” from the haters and national media until they pay another top deal to someone else besides Joe. This just feels very stubborn.

I 100% agree that the team looks like the cheapass, hard-headed skinflints they're reputed to be. 

Can't afford Bates because Burrow, Tee and Ja'Marr. Lose Bates for a dime. Can't sign Tee long term because Ja'Marr. Likely lose Tee next year for a dime. Screw around with the Chase contract because...why? Are his reps being completely unreasonable? Oh to be a fly on the wall like i was in '06.
