Now, the most likely reason for the appearance of Bernard’s agent in Cincinnati is to have a discussion surrounding his client’s contract. The former North Carolina Tar Heel is set for free agency after the upcoming season. All indications suggest that the Bengals are happy with their veteran scat back. First year offensive coordinator Brian Callahan even went as far as to say “ I am excited about Gio… Gio brings a lot to the table for us, and his value is very high.
