Johnathan Joseph left the Bengals last season after five seasons and signed a five-year, $48.75 million contract that included $23.5 million in guaranteed money with the Texans. "The first thing about Houston is it's an organization run from a different perspective," Joseph said. "In Cincy, the team lives off money it earns from football. Houston's owner has other business interests and he controls the money." Joseph said that several teams were interested in his services, including the Raiders, Lions and Buccaneers, but the decision ultimately came down to Houston and Cincinnati
