I have not read all the replies in this thread so if some of these points have been said already apologies in advance.
Mikey doesn’t generally give in to players wanting out. A contract is a contract. Even though there aren’t guaranteed contracts in the Nfl players knew, barring injury, the contract they signed with the bengals would almost certainly be paid out in full since the bengals rarely cut or trade their players.
This a good time to reverse course, in terms of trading players. 2 main reasons I say this.
1 is the burrow effect. I’m fairly certain jb has shown franchise qb traits. He should at least produce some playoff wins if he doesn’t get hurt and the team surrounds him with competent coaches and teammates. Do you really want him exposed to years of negativity in the locker room? If the front office doesn’t change it’s tune I can totally see him not signing a long term deal after his rookie contract is up.
Second is the salary cap. It will go down next year. This should be the year they finally trade off their overpriced, older and disgruntled players. Free up the cash to hopefully get at least 1 good ol in free agency and hit on our draft picks
