I think he should have been signed and start training. If he just doesn’t like how these people do business with other people, may make him think that bending to their wishes is something he is less likely to do. Don’t think the Bengals are giving him a warm and fuzzy feeling. As of right now, though in different career and contract positions, both edges are saying the Bengals are offering contracts they don’t want to sign.

I think that you may be overthinking the entire situation. The guy has not played a down, nor even signed his rookie contract. It's much, much too early to be thinking about his long term prospects. He needs to prove that he belongs on an NFL roster, first and foremost.
