So it's a 3 year extension with a 4th year option? That's a really good deal for the Bengals. We get his 24-27 age years, which are widely considered the peak years for a Running Back. Then, once he turns 28 in July 2024, the age at which Running Backs generally start to decline, we can choose to walk away if he's showing signs of wear and tear.
