I'll also say that I find it very logical to assume Andy and AJ leave the Bengals in a more pleasant and friendly way than Carson and Chad did, but until they walk out the door with giant smiles on their faces it's just an assumption. Then again, I don't think Andy and AJ are facing the same brick walls as the "trade demanders" who came before.
Bringing up the attitude and exits of the eras does add a lot of grey area to the discussion. I do have to say it is somewhat telling that the only guys we can really claim "like being Bengals" are the ones who are still on the team right now. Then again, I DO have to point out that it is pretty clear my current gf likes me a lot more than my ex gf did...you know, the one who broke up with me? hmm...
