The heavy guaranteed salary up front is smart over a signing bonus+ salary that creates the same basic amount of money because if they gave a signing bonus to equal the same first year salary, if they ever cut them the signing bonus counts against the cap in an accelerated form based on the proration of the remaining years..
I think we are saying the exact same thing. We just have a different understanding of creative. The Bengals play it straight up. The contract they offer is exactly what is. No tricks no hidden money. Like I said not being creative is not a bad thing.
