Former Bengals quarterback Boomer Esiason didn't outright call his former franchise "cheap," but his reaction to his Ring of Honor invite said enough.

The Cincinnati Bengals have a reputation for knowing how to pinch a penny. Just ask star defensive end Trey Hendrickson, currently embroiled in a contract stalemate with the franchise.

Bengals legend Boomer Esiason was inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor in 2023 and apparently peeled back the curtain on some of the practices around the weekend during a recent appearance on his "Boomer & Gio" show. According to Boomer, invited members of the team’s ring get two tickets to the Jets game and aren’t comped anything else.
