I think a guy like Geno and Uzomah, and Gio are smart enough to see the amount of guys getting cut right now. The market is going to be flooded with players, so this should give the team a chance to keep a lot of these guys to prevent creating new holes, while being able to say to them, hey we don't want to release you we'd like to work out a new deal.
The player gets another year of security added to the end of their contract, and the Bengals get the cap number down in the present time. Maybe you end up giving them a little more then what the others on the market are getting so they are interested in the deal, but it still provides cap relief for the team. Becomes a win/win situation. More cap space without creating new holes as both Uzomah and Gio are very useful players, and Geno, if healthy can still be a force I believe.
You know it Murdock, hoping we restructure the most, especially with Gio as he is so good at picking up the blitz.
Could be right about Geno, he didn't look in shape or healthy last Offseason. We all know he is a hard working sumbitch.
Maybe he just needed another Offseason to return to being said force and tossing Guards around again...
But at a cheaper price, he has to prove something after last year, that was sad.
