Yes but I think it's that line of thinking that has got the Bengals into the state that they are in right now. They need to start paying the talent they have and make it work in the future. Another graphic I saw immediately following the superbowl was how the Bengals are at the bottom of the league in dead money at like 13 mil while the Eagles had 50 mil more at 63mil. After this season of wasting the offense I don't want to know we could've done more only to watch it be wasted. It seems like the Bengals may get the big 3 extended I just hope we don't stop there and get some of our remaining guys as well as 2-3 free agents.
