“All in” isn’t signing two dudes and chilling.
“All in” isn’t refusing to change your contract structure.
“All in” isn’t not restructuring Burrow’s contract to create cap space.
You are NOT all in.
Many people didn’t understand a word Bad Bunny said during his Super Bowl halftime performance, but it was iconic because you could feel the love of people and culture. Puerto Rican culture is American Culture. Together we are America.
The Bengals 2024 defense was so bad it cost Joe Burrow the MVP and wasted a triple crown season for Ja'Marr Chase.
The Bengals dove into free agency and ONLY signed TJ Slaton.
WHAT???? THE DEFENSE STILL SUCKS?????
Look Trey is a portion of the tipping point (a collapse in Tee negotiations will send me over the edge). While Trey is an absolute freak and I want him here, this anger is not necessarily about him.
It is about…
Whitworth
Atkins
Bates
Etc….
It’s consistent frustration.
this is wild
the Bengals & Eagles both signed their QB1s to extensions in 2023
since?
1 Bengal was re-signed to a contract over $40M (Logan Wilson)
8 Eagles were re-signed to contracts over $40M
(A.J. Brown, Landon Dickerson, Lane Johnson, DeVonta Smith, Jordan Mailata, Zach Baun, Darius Slay & Saquon Barkley)
Complete failure. They had a plan. They expressed the plan to extend all three this offseason and have failed to do so.
It really puts a big dent in their messaging this offseason.
