From the article

the second-round pick is entering the final year of his rookie contract with no deal... They ultimately let him walk after having him play on the franchise tag for a year... The Bengals need to be sure the same thing doesn't happen with Turner, and ideally lock him down before another hopefully great season that would skyrocket his price even more.

Negative signalRole

Turner's contract situation mirrors Bates' exit; extension needed before price spikes.

Turner is entering the final year of his rookie contract with no extension in place, mirroring the situation that led to Jessie Bates walking in free agency after the Bengals played him on the franchise tag. The source warns the Bengals need to lock Turner down before a breakout season skyrockets his price further, or risk losing him as they did with Bates.
