Offer sheets are always more money than the tenders. The Bengals most likely would've kept Hawk for an extra $700k, or received a 2nd round pick. Whether we extended him or not is a different story, but Hawk would've stayed for at least one more season.
It was money.. if you remember his offer sheet was a bit high for the type of WR he was for i believe 3 years.. it was smart let him walk and to think he is already out of football now reinforces the smart move by FO office on his extension
