Not really surprising, unfortunately. They couldn't agree to terms last off-season and with AJ missing the season, the Bengals would be inclined to offer less this year. There's zero incentive for AJ to sign a long term deal when he's tagged. The FT+whatever long term deal he signs next year is more guaranteed money than any long term deal the Bengals would offer this year.
