They need to lock him up for his career ASAP and by doing a long term contract, they can pay a big bonus upfront (towards guaranteed money) and pro rate it for cap purposes over the life of the deal.
Everything at this point for Joe and Tee are pure speculation. I am hopeful Joe is reasonable. He is not the best QB in the league so asking to be paid like the best in the league is not being reasonable. I would hope he is smart enough to know the Bengals or any team needs to pay to place a great roster around him so asking for too much in the end hurts his case to win championships.
Well said Luvnit. Agree with everything you say here, pay Joe a big early bonus on a decade long contract. He should be paid just lower
than Mahomes but front loaded so he has his guaranteed money. Tee is the question, will he take a contract that is just slightly less than a
#1 WR in order to stay on his favorite team and do so accounting for the fact he is hurt a lot?
