Correct, and now the bengals have all the leverage in the world, to negotiate a long term contract.

2022 - 13m
2023 - 15.6m (120% of 22)
2024 - 22.4m (144% of 23)

3 years 51m or 17m a year.

If reports are true he wants 18-20m/year, it would be bad business for the bengals and unwarranted by the player/agents.

A 5 year 75-80m deal, with 51m gtd, would be the absolute most the bengals should offer. This would be 15-16m a year and offer him the same gtd money as 3 franchise tags
