There's some drama in Cincy

A real franchise would've traded Higgins and inserted Burton while using the freed money to get Chase's deal finalized. The Bengals, OTOH, look like they may prefer to just hose the whole damn thing up.

They've always been cheap and done things weirdly.

you think it's a cash liquidity problem with Brown?

Think he'd struggle to get a loan?

No, no I do not.

Ja’Mar shouldn’t suit up until he’s the highest paid non-QB in the NFL *it’ll never happen*

The bengals have ****ed this up from the get go.

You know what the smart move was?

To be the first WR to reset the market and to get a 5th year in the contract.

Now they’ve pissed off their best player.

There's a pretty good chance that he and Jefferson were in something of a staring contest, though.

I mean if he's saying "I want one penny more than JJ" then it stands to reason that he simply wasn't willing to sign until after Jefferson did.

And if that's the case, there was nothing Cincy ever could've done.

And really, Cincy should probably just give it to him provided that they add it to the end of his 5th year option. At that point you get him for 4/$140 through his age 29 season. So you're getting out of his right around the time he's either started to decline or he's proven to be one of those HoF caliber talents who should age well and be worth another LTC.

The timing of all this SHOULD work out okay for Cincy. Time to just get the deal done.

Meaningless anyway with that Burrow injury. That wrist injury isn't magically healing...

[Valiant]

Hopefully he holds out til October or November, whenever a player can come back and accrue a season. Then play a bit and phantom injury..by then they will just want to trade him.

With is demands. They would probably not even get a 1st. Probably 2 2nds.

That looks like it would make you shit everywhere.

There is a company named Chili John's here in Green Bay that I discovered serves what is supposed to be similar to Cincinnati style chili. They claim it's slightly different, but it's served the same way. I have to admit, it was damn good.

It is damn good. It's obviously not traditional "chili" but a meat soup and when you make it right, it's delectable.

[O.city]

When you take a WR high in the draft like that, he plays like an all pro, he's gonna want to get paid.

Plan accordingly.

This is why I believe may have a bad season because there's a real problem with guys wanting to be paid top dollar on that team.
