Ok, I’m back to being confused again lol. So we DO have him for 3 years?
It appears to be the same deal they did with Reiff last year and why the team has dead money on Reiff in 2022. They take the 22 million and spread most of it over 3 years reducing the cap hit in years 1 and 2. Then if they don't come up with an extension, they have dead money in year 3, if they extend him, then no dead money.
It is cap gymnastics every team is doing right now banking on more cap money available in 2023 and beyond due to 17 game schedule and new TV contracts.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
