He says yeah, shrugs, nods his head a few times and says it depends on who you're asking. Then says "But ***I*** would say" rather than "I have been told" or "according to a source" and then says "anywhere between" and looks up to the ceiling as he's totally making up a number but then says 5 straight different numbers in a row.

Rappaport will say "I don't know" if he doesn't know.
Schefter will not.

This is right. It’s hard to really say where the hang up is. I doubt it’s just $6,000,000-$10,000,000. Maybe that is the compromised number, but I assume that is just pure speculation.

I think this gets done. Once finalized, almost all the risk is on the bengals. Trey can afford almost next to no fall-off for the contract to not age poorly. I really understand the reluctance of the bengals on this one.

Of course they got it wrong with whit, but they also got it wrong with Geno, and to an extent AJ Green (who should have aged nicely). Green fell off a cliff after 30, but also coming off injury.
