Reggie to Raiders

Btw, he's 32 and turns 33 in late September. 

Honestly, when Reggie says "lack of interest" he probably just means that the Bengals didn't pursue him as hard as he thought they would. I can see why he'd be upset, but I can also see why the Bengals opted to make Iloka and Pacman the priorities. Fwiw, Pacman is older than Nelson and Corners tend to age even faster than Safeties. That said, our CB depth is weak and we had Shawn Williams ready to take over for Nelson.

So really this is a situation where we shouldn't be mad at the Bengals or Nelson. I'm sure he wanted to stay, but it just wasn't in the cards at Nelson's (very fair) market value.

Lap stated they offered Reggie same money as Iloka, but less years and guaranteed money. He wanted more guaranteed money (not that I blame him). So the Bengals wanted him, but at there price, not his.
