Jake is likely gone after next year. If the Bengals do this then they are beyond stupid, that extra 3-6M is our vet CB or replacement for Scott at Safety or any number of uses.
We only had 6 players with a base salary over 5M this past season. If they give Browning anything over his contracted rate it would be.... it just doesnt make any sense whatsoever.
I said his MARKET rate was $4-6 million, not that is what I expect him to get from the Bengals. I expect him to get a performance reward. Giving him $2 million vs $1 million is not going to break the bank. The Bengals do not always tender their ERFAs so this is an unusual situation. With Joe's situation being uncertain let's not screw over his back up for minimal saving
All hopes turn to next year
