If he was forced to retire this offseason the Bengals would likely medically retire him but before that they would re-work his deal and sign him at vet minimum in 2024 to be on IR in order to make arrangements for the full payment process which has to be completed and count against the cap over the next 2 seasons, with half of the 219M due in 2025 and the other half in 2026.
This would be by far the largest loss and cap hit to any team in league history. Im sure we would apply for some type of relief in order to stay competitive.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. But wow, that would be catastrophic for sure.
I bet the Brown Family is watching this much closer than we are.
