I wasn't disagreeing with you. I was merely trying to point out what's been stated in the media.

I don't think MLJ will see $7 mill a year offer from the Bengals anyway considering the other FAs that need to be signed. I think they follow their typical path and sign some bargain FAs and have another solid draft.
