I don't know how much control he has over any trade as far as what is in his contract but he may want a renegotiation clause as part of the agreement for any trade.  I think he'll want some longer term security with his new team. 

He likely has a "no trade" clause that allows him to veto a move to a situation that he does not see favorable. I like what he's done over the years, but I wouldn't throw new money at him, simply for the privilege of having him on the roster. He could be spent.

In a Jay Gruden run Bengal offense, Samuel could easily be a superstar. But in the current situation, I doubt that the Bengals would ever use a dynamic player like Samuel to half of his potential. And you're right, the Bengals likely wouldn't give him a big deal.
