Don’t be shocked when Reiff gets extended at some point.
Remember the reason for all these 1 year deals (not just Bengals but across the league). It is having the cap drop this year followed by an expected big jump next year courtesy of the new TV deals. As a result a lot of players are “betting on themselves” and taking one year performance deals so they can prove their value when they hit the market again the following offseason. Usually they want longer term deals - this is an anomaly due to the strange cap scenario this offseason.
