edit: Hill can get the 5th year option so maybe we'll get 2 top years out of him in year 4 and 5.

Are you sure about that?  The Bengals signed Bell to his second contract, they just signed two LBs that they drafted to second contracts, extended the second contract of their best pass rusher.  I believe that it's the 3rd contract where the Bengals decide that it's time to go younger and cheaper.  Except for Bates, who seems to be living up to his merit of a top 5 at his position player, despite everyone who wanted to shit on him while he was still a Bengal.
