Joe is so calculated and he cares so much about winning a Super Bowl....probably multiple Super Bowls, that I can't help but think he MAY (no insider information here, just looking at the man) decide to take a lesser deal if the savings are guaranteed to go to Bates or simply other players.
Joe might be on the verge of some big non-football contract endorsement. Maybe he takes $400 million over 10 years and saves the Bengals about $10 million per year. I know that is a massive sacrifice, but I think if Joe could play with Tee, Ja'Marr, and Bates for that, he would take that over just two of them if he got the top dollar.
I know that is asking a lot of a guy that has not hit the big payday yet, but I just wonder if something like that might happen. He has already proven to be very savvy with his money. That Nike chain wasn't paid for by him.
