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.
Yes, if we have some good Corners we need to start paying them. I think we already have a really good one in CTB and truly believe
that both Dax and DJ could become some good ones. Probably will only be able to pay two though.

Eh, not every player is like an elite WR. WR's tend to be the most immature players. Thinking we might need to make an example of
Chase if he doesn't play because a contract couldn't get done to his liking. The Bengals have the power here, not Chase.
