It's all about ME and how big of a contract I can get for ME. All the nonsense talk just a few years ago about how players will want to sign with the Bengals to have the chance to play with Burrow was comical. Just a few that left for MORE MONEY and worse teams, Bell, Awuzie, Perine, Hurst, Williams. I know Bell is back but only because he didn't cost them much if any and he is several years older and a bit slower now.
When I think about it actually maybe the players and agents are the smart ones in all this as the NFL head office has nearly succeeded in ruining what the Super Bowl actually represents. Now it's all about the pre, halftime and post game circus event that always has the strangest weirdos doing whatever they do. It seems more time is wasted on this nauseating circus act than the game itself.
Obviously the money is a big part of it on all sides. If the Bengals were more concerned about winning then money they would have paid Chase before training camp started. Chase was crying at the end of the AFCCG because he was going to a superbowl. I believe it matters. But at the end of the day rings or not you have to worry about your future so of course the supercedes rings.
