He did get $15m guaranteed for that 1 year with the Seahawks, and it's not even like he was bad with the Seahawks with 79 catches/911 yards(11.5 AVG)/3 TD... the problem is we don't know what the Bengals ACTUALLY offered him because we've seen time and time again when they say "we offered comparable/competitive offers" it can mean an entirely different thing than the reality of the rest of the league.
Also don't forget he was part of the pre-Marvin Mike Brown Bengals which apparently were truly awful times compared to just bad times. So it's probably not surprising he wanted to leave.
