00:00Jermaine Pratt, since he's leading tackler this year, one of their defensive leaders has requested
00:06a trade from the Bengals. We looked at the Super Bowl 60 odds. We saw a ton of movement for the
00:12Bengals in a 24-hour span. 24-1, 18-1, $6 shaved off the price, fourth best number around the AFC,
00:22behind only the trio of the Chiefs, the Ravens, and the Bills. But Donny, we've had our questions
00:28about those numbers, because if everybody is there and fully healthy, oh yeah, the Bengals
00:34provide a great boost of value. But we don't know who is going to be there, if anybody outside of
00:40Joe Burrow is really going to be back next year. Jamar Chase under contract, but he needs his
00:45offseason extension entering his fifth year in the NFL. He absolutely does, and also the one
00:51interesting thing about Tee Higgins is we think he's as good as gone, and rightfully so. He's
00:55going to get top dollar on an open market. But he also has, which I think, one of the worst agents
00:59in the history of the NFL that even allowed him to play under a contract last year, when every
01:03single person in his spot got paid big-time money to go back to their team, and he played under that
01:08franchise tag, risking injury. Now granted, you can get a Lloyds of London policy, and all that
01:13stuff goes into it, but I can't even believe that he showed up, let alone for any parts of training
01:17camp or the season, playing under that tag. But also, get this, when you have Mike Brown as an
01:22owner, and you just saw one of their better players, which the defense was bad in Praco,
01:26I want to be traded, I don't like it here. The Bengals are the type of franchise that goes, well,
01:30we're small market, free agents don't want to come here, because we really don't want to pay
01:33all that much money, but if we have our own players in an upheaval, and we trade one of them,
01:37that's going to start an avalanche in our locker room. So just like Mike Brown and going against
01:41all of his fans' wishes, he's like, you know what, it's better off that we just sit this guy down,
01:46and he not play, and I don't have to pay him, even if it hurts our chances to win on the field,
01:51I can't have a mutant in my locker room, as opposed to most NFL owners going, hey, you know
01:55what, fans love us, fans want to win, fans want to pay their money to come see us, and I want to
02:00give them a good product. If you would have told me Mike Brown was like, hey, one of the better
02:03owners in the NFL, you would have Jomar Chase already signed, Burrow signed, you'd already
02:07have T. Hagan signed, you'd have Trey Hendrickson signed, like, think about the guys that he's
02:11fighting with. Like, Joe Burrow got his money because a quarterback has to get his, right?
02:14But Jomar Chase is one of the best wide receivers in the game. He should be reaching out saying,
02:19I know it's going to cost me a lot of money, let's get this done sooner than later. T. Hagan,
02:23you're homegrown, you love it here, you want to play, you love Joe Burrow, the fans love you,
02:27sign him. And also Trey Hendrickson, leading the NFL in sacks, like, hey, buddy,
02:30I want a new contract, I deserve more. You signed a contract, you own up to it,
02:35and you better like it or we'll just sit you down. What a terrible run franchise.
02:39It's a shame that Bengals fans have to put up with this win. They could be on the cusp of a dynasty,
02:44but Mike Brown's like, dynasty? I'd rather make more money, let everybody go.
