Giving him $2 million vs $1 million is not going to break the bank. The Bengals do not always tender their ERFAs so this is an unusual situation. With Joe's situation being uncertain let's not screw over his back up for minimal saving
I thought you were stating 4-6M, thats on me. But, he is under contract for $900K, unless they are extended Im not sure why any team would pay over that amount?
He will be a RFA next season and if teams still like him they can make him an offer and we have the right to match it. We are not competing with anyone this year. Giving away 1M for no reason this offseason does us no good if we are not going to match next years offer, assuming he is truly that valuable.
