It's our country. I have a lot of pride in it and the flag and what that's about and all the people who fought for it. ”

There's a lot of veteran players that, honestly, being comfortable where they play is more important. And that's just not me. ”

Being a mentor and a leader, I've always urged guys, if you're ever allowed to be a free agent, to take advantage of that opportunity. ”

I've got two contracts in my life. One, with my wife because we're married. And, two, I've got a contract to protect Andy Dalton. I'll do both of those to the best of my ability. ”
