Yep the top paid CBs are getting $20+ mill APY now.
11 players >$15 mill.

I get the impression the Bengals will start paying CBs again once all the current big contracts on the DL go away.
BJ Hill - $10.8 mill this season
Hendrickson - $20.1 mill this season, $18.6 mill next
Hubbard - $10.1 mill this season, $11.6 mill next
Rankins - $11.9 mill this season, $12.5 mill next

2026 is when we'll start seeing the $$ dished out to the next crop of core guys like CTB, maybe Hill, Murphy, etc.
Or maybe they'll start putting some of the money percentage that's going toward defense over toward the offense like Chase.
