Bingo. That's what the guys on twitter who are usually right, deduced as well (me too: a lot of, "my family needs to be taken care of," and not a lot of, "I'm underpaid," type of talk in his interview).

Who the Browns owner has thrown a ton of his business/personal cash at to skirt the cap rules and all that. The Browns (family) can't do that.

He should be handling this better. He needs to kick his agent to the curb. Be a man, play out you contract, then sign a new contract with better money that comensurates with value of play.
I agree, but I'll go one better and to simply accept what the Bengals HAVE offered him or, at the very least, work with them and not just flat-out say, "they're disrespecting me."
The optics are bad on both sides and both sides dropped the ball: the initial ball-dropping was on his agent, the follow-up is on both of them.
