[Whatever]

He never said I want to go to Cinci and turn it around (like Baker did Cleveland and some other potential first round picks have said about the team picking 1 overall). So the tea leaves especially through the media read that he'd be happy to be drafted by the Bengals but if he had his choice the Bengals wouldn't be the team he played for.

And that is completely understandable.

The Seniorbowl snub was an eye opener.

Hopefully MB and co will do something to show him they care about winning (they won't). The relationship has started off a little rocky. I think we can all admit that.

In what way was the Senior Bowl an eye opener?  He's the slam dunk #1 pick and there's absolutely no reason for him to risk injury.  It would have been stupid for him to participate.

I would say it makes no sense for him to hire former Bengals to train him if he doesn't want to come here.
