and it was reportedly over 30 mil per year. Should of taken it. I don't defend the FO often, but they signed Ja'Marr to the biggest non QB deal
and paid Tee enough to make him happy and brought back BJ Hill and Mike G and others and even added a Guard, NT and a LB in FA.
Not like they have been sitting on their hands like we could say in the past.
Then you can't say he should have taken it.
They also "reportedly" offered Chase a big deal last offseason, but the "guaranteed" money didn't actually become guaranteed until four years later. The exact details are the only things that actually matter, Nate.
Michael Vick signed a "5yr/$80m" deal with the Eagles in 2011. He never even saw half of that. In 2013 he was on a 1yr/$7.5m deal. DETAILS MATTER.
The Bengals always "reportedly" offer FAs who leave a "fair" deal and then years later we find out it wasn't even CLOSE to competitive to the other offers. We saw it with Housh, we saw it with JJo, we saw it with Marvin Jones, we saw it with Whit. Yet somehow here you are again just believing the line.
