(Cincinnati, OH)  — The owner of the Cincinnati Bengals hopes his star quarterback will stick around.  Mike Brown spoke to the media and said, “he’s going to have a long career” and “we certainly want it to be here.”  Brown went on to say, “but there is the fact that when you don’t have to pay the quarterback some extraordinary amount, that leaves room to pay other players more and, therefore, you can keep more players that are good players.”  The Bengals will head to Orchard Park to face the Bills Sunday afternoon in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs.
