Perhaps there was a misinterpretation, but "interested" and "willing" are two different things.
When I think of "interest", I think of just calling to see if someone does want to move up or not. Not whether the terms to move up were considered too high to make a deal.
I would think if someone really just didn't want to pay the asking price to move up, it would have been stated there was interest but a deal couldn't materialize that was agreed by both sides. Saying there was no interest implies no one called and/or the Bengals were unwilling to call other teams to see.
