  1. Getting this statement out of a bengals staff member means you are absolutely done. He will not be here next season.

  2. Even better

  3. **Tobin:** He’s done nothing, and he’s going to have to start doing something quickly. We knew we were taking a risk. We felt comfortable that we could help him through some of the challenges he’s had in the past, and we’re going to continue to try to help him. But this is professional football, and you have to take accountability, and you have to be accountable to your teammates, your coaches, and the team that you’re playing for, and he has to figure that out. He’s got to figure that out fast. He’s a very talented player, and we knew that there were risks in taking him. We knew there were rewards in taking him. We know what both of those are. We’re hoping for the rewards. We’re giving him the resources he needs to get to those rewards, but at the end of the day, you can’t want it more for somebody than they want it for themselves. And we’re hoping that Jermaine figures that out.

  4. Translation: Of course he’s done here. But he’s such a stiff we can’t even get trade value for him.
