I don't think he is unhappy with his agent.

I think he wants to be paid in the neighborhood of his peers with terms comparable to them.

The Bengals don't want to give it to him.   They apparently consider the risk too high and the reward too low.

You either want to win now or not.  And I think they do, but not tat the cost they would have to pay.  And there is a risk, but I'd say the reward - at least over the last two years - is good enough to pay for.

And again, it underscores their poor planning and assessment of the situation.  They apparently thought they could have him if they strung it out.   And they finally made the concessions that were their bottom line and were surprised that they did not meet his bottom line.

If they had done this right after the Super Bowl their bottom line might have been enough.   I don't think he was the one that wanted to see how the market broke.

They have a long history of dragging things out to what they believe is going to break the will of the player.   And in our current environment that does not appear to work well.   We got lucky with Tee.
