So much drama. JB just got 2 huge contracts for Chase and Higgins, now he should ask demand a trade and not show up to make a point.

Sorry, this is just stupid. Bengals would let him sit out, fine him and not pay him. In 2026, he is still a Bengal and accomplished nothing.

Clown move. 

The weird part though is the team paying people for the past - or the future? 

It's like the Flacco wins the superbowl contract to never win again.

I can see a team trying to make up for the past lower pay (especially when structured in a contract as so).

How many more years do we think he will perform at that level? I feel like the Bengals may have offered him a 1 year and he wants more (3).

speaking of trey though, if he doesn't play, the contract year doesn't count and it pushes his free agency out another year (or it's at risk to do so).

how many games would he need to play in order for that to not be the case? i wonder if an "injury" gets to count...

but yeah I'm worried about our defense, I don't know if al golden can do what we need him to do (has to at least be middle of the league rank). we need to have a chip on his shoulder that he has to prove it wasn't just our personnel with lou.

the results will be in the W/L column
