Awesome. Keeping Gio is huge for us.

It also means that we can start focusing on Zeitler's extension.

Pretty amazing. A year ago people were wondering if he would get traded after the year Hill had in 2014. Aren't we glad he didn't?

Nice. Good for Gio.

Best news of the entire offseason in my opinion. I have had nightmares of Gio running wild in a different uniform. I don't want to see that.. ever.

Amen to that 

You have to feel really good about this. Quality guy and a very good player.

I like it, keep them coming.
:)

Love it; Hope we get Hill done to!

he's still young and 3 more years only puts him at 28. Its a good deal for both team and player.

Damn good deal to get him for the rest of his prime RB years. Glad they got that done.

Gio ..get yourself a nice newer used van.

Nice! Keep a quality player and at a good price, so we still have the money to work on Big Z.

Very happy about this.  Well deserved.

PFT says he's being paid like a top 10 back. The average salary is a little high, IMO, but I'd rather Gio make 5-6 million per than lose him. He's definitely been a key offensive player for us. So even though I think it's a little high, I'm still happy with the news. An extra 1-2 million isn't a huge problem.

Three year "extension" means we now have him locked up for four more years, correct?

Guy's like Gio make me proud to be a Bengals fan and Im so glad we locked this kid up.
