I saw someone said he was 1.5 hrs late for an autograph signing and he wouldn't confirm or deny it was because he was signing something else. Not exactly cold hard facts. I'm hoping for news to break today. But if it doesn't it will be pretty telling if he practices tomorrow or not.
I bet it gets done before the season. With everyone else signed, I think it might have swung the contract back in the bengals favor, relatively speaking. If lamb or aiyuk had gone for more than Jefferson… would have been a different story.
The frustrating thing about these hold outs/ins… the contract typically ends up right where the negotiating likely started. I guess it’s not peanuts when you consider $5m gtd or a few extra incentives, but in the grand scheme of contract negotiations, it’s almost nothing.
