There are always 2 sides to negotiations, I don't think the Bengals are without blame. They are, but the difference between our opinions, is I feel the team is not 100% to blame every time there is a contract dispute.
Also, the cheap Bengals sure paid Chase the highest non foorball contract in the NFL and paid Tee very well. They paid Gesicki very well also. They have our entire team under contract for 2025 so now time to focus on winning games with those who decided they would honor their existing contracts.
They got guys paid and made them presumably very happy and yes they deserve credit for that. But they also at the same time it so far outside the average they took 16 million (i believe the number that was reported) off the table of money we could spend this year.
I don't assume they are wrong 100% of the time. But we have to use the knowledge of the past to evaluate the present at times and the Bengals haven't been great.
I think the deal gets done at some point. Not sure why we took a break from negotiations in the middle of the offseason but hopefully we can put this all behind us soon.
