3.5 Billion Annual Economic Impact with the Bengals 1 Billion of that, but they only have to give up 120 Million. Hamilton County are idgits. Have fun with your Taxes Hamilton County.

And fans thought it would be so much better under Katie once MFB was gone. Isn't this Katie and her husband's doing? I don't follow as much anymore so wouldn't really know but, just saying.

Unfortunately, Burrow is not the Owner, nor does he have to deal with the CAP even though the Brown's need to spend the extra CAP. We all know they will not though. Katie has spoken too on the matter and from her tone, not good.

You have a link with a quote from the Brown's or is this hearsay?

That is exactly what I said. What? lol I am putting this as a Hypothetical where this should be in the back of the mind of the Brown's. If Trey thinks he is worth this amount, then I would not give him up unless a team offered two first rounders. I, myself would not give him up for anything less. The Brown's on the other hand may do it for less. This is just my way of thinking with Trey stating what he thinks he is worth.

I don't understand what you mean? I am not talking about what Trey cares about; I am talking about what the Bengals should do because of his demands. This is the only way I would trade him or make him sit out and then just fine him. He will eventually come around to play. Higgins did the same thing.

Yes, it was, his Agent screwed up, I keep hearing what you are saying he said, but did this really come out of the Brown's mouth? I have not been around, and I have not paid close enough to know or not so that is why I am asking. People that are upset with this thread, um, isn't this a Bengals discussion board? lol I guess it is only what they want and not what anyone else wants to read or comment on here. On the two firsts, yes, like I replied on my other comment about this, it was meaning if he thinks he is worth that amount, then I as a Team Owner would not be giving him up for no less than two first rounders just like you think he is worth that kind of money. If you were another team owner and came asking for his price to Trade him, this is what you would have to give up. Guess what, no TEAM is going to do this. I wonder why? Well, he is not worth that amount and at his age, yes, as I would not be taking a chance with a big contract at his age. He is not going to want only a one-year deal is my point.

I am basing the 2 first round picks off of what he thinks he is worth. If he thinks he is worth this amount, then any team that comes a calling, then they need to pay in full with two number ones. That is what I think about him wanting what he thinks he is worth. That is why I said, a team would not even give up just one first rounder. If they would, they would've already come a calling by now.

I do not see there being a distraction. He will be fined and hit in his bank account. Nobody is going to give up a First Round draft pick for an aging player. I would not even give him up for One First Rounder, it would have to be two. Plus, if he sits out the season it is not accrued, and from my understanding that means he will not become a FA.

I hear ya, but he already had a shot at that with his extension. He signed that in 2023, not 2024. He wants his cake and eat it too. Get a better agent. He has no cards to play here. His age for one is a major factor and the Bengals have the TAG to use on him. What if they say, give him what he wants and he does nothing, then I am back to, will he give back money for his low performance, nope. He needs to take what they are offering and move on even it is below fair market value. He and his agent made the big mistake back in 2023.

To me, a Contract you signed is based off of performance like we all know but, if you don't live up to those standards, then yes, you should lose salary money or be cut. They were guaranteed a certain amount of money for the contract. Does the owner say to the player, you underperformed so you will have to give back some of that guaranteed money, nope, it a loss for the player not producing. Now on the other side, Trey signed a contract for his performance and if he over performed during it, so what, he signed on the dotted line. Did his contract say it could be renegotiated if he did over perform? If it did not, he has no legs to stand on. Play it out and then, get want you want. If he had underperformed would he have offered to give money back? No matter the year of the contract, nope. I hate to be on Mike Brown's side on this but these contracts are getting out of hand. Trust me, Mike Brown needs to step up to the plate and spend the CAP available. Are we going back to he doesn't want to really want to win a SB again. Looks like it. At his age, if I were him, I would spend at all costs but, he is looking out for family, I understand that too but, what is the ultimate goal in having an NFL team? Make money or win a SB. And don't talk to me about Jerry Jones or Daniel Snyder, etc... Jones lost it and Snyder never had it as just being a DA Billionaire thinking he had a clue.

Finally, a Thanksgiving Game. 15 years since the last one that I researched and only the 2nd one ever. I thought it was the very first one, but my memory fails me.

I don't come on here very often and I have never met anyone on here except maybe three people that I know of or remember but, one of my son's was born in Torrejon Spain and I lived in Madrid Spain for 4 years. I believe HSH may have met him at Training Camp one year . I have not been to a game in a very long time but, if the Bengals get the game there, then I might seriously have to think about going to the game just to revisit my past from 37 years ago. 33 years ago when I left.

How did nobody not draft Seth Mclaughlin. He is super quick out of his stance and his awareness of the defenders is very good.

I would trade Pratt to the Cowboys for two 7th rounders.
