Thats SIGNIFICANTLY more money. 

I mean lets be honest here, the Bengals have absolutely discount shopped so far this off-season. Guys can want to play for Joe Burrow all they want, but if they are getting 60% raises to play elsewhere...then I'd be leaving too. 

I think the point was not what we paid their replacements, but the reported difference between what we offered vs. what they took.  Like it's been reported that we offered Bell a similar total amount of money but less guaranteed.  That's what Piston's was referring to.
