The #Bengals are re-signing LB Germaine Pratt to a three-year, $21 million deal, per source. He gets $10.35M in Year 1 and $15.15M over two years. He’s started 54 career games and now stays in Cincinnati.

Was just comin to post it. Not a bad deal.

Kinda shocked, actually. I’d assumed he was gone. Seems like a good deal for both sides.

Now that’s one less position we need to draft early-ish

I am surprised we got the deal we got on him, solid signing by the team especially looking at TJ Edwards deal.

Hate it. How do we pay Wilson?

Solid deal, IMO.
Happy to have Pratt back next to Logan Wilson.
Now get one of the safeties and maybe Hurst back and it opens the draft a whole bunch.

Very reasonable, $7M/yr for 3 years. Does not preclude a Logan Wilson extension. After what Edwards got I thought he'd get $13M or so. Also, front-heavy - $10M in cash this year $5M next, $6M the year after. Was okay with him walking but I'll take him back at this amount. Just did not want an overpay.

YES!!!!

Not sure if serious?
That deal is hardly going to strain the cap.
Bengals have quite a few bigger-cost guys coming off FA in the next couple years anyway to be able to find room for Wilson as well.

By paying Pratt's big money this year.

"Oh, that loser will never play for the Bengals again. He's a cancer. Worst attitude in the world. Don't let the door hit you in the arse"....blah blah blah.

Signed,
ignorant, irrational, emotional Bengals fans

Very happy with that deal.

Now get Vonn done and that’s a pretty good first day.

Hurst can go for me TE depth in the draft saves us a lot of money

You can pay both... 

Seems pretty damn reasonable to me.

Bengals said they wanted to sign their own free agents, this makes 2 of them today.

That is an absolutely fantastic value for a player of Pratt's caliber.

Wow.

Fantastic signing. He's made so many key plays during this 2 year run for the Bengals, glad that they were able to come to terms.

Thank you to every NFL team that decided to get under the cap by releasing linebackers. Glad to see Playoff P back in the house.

The same as everyone else...with a check.

With a contract
