As tag deadline nears some of these guys get tagged.I'm very surprised that Osa (who has never gotten more than 5 sacks in a season)is getting franchise level money(especially considering it's a deep DT draft this year) and a guard is going to get franchise OT level money.
Said bengals fan also cites list of teams that are over the cap or have so little cap space they can’t sign their own guys. We can swoop in and get them. Said teams work voodoo magic to create space, sign their guys.
Free agency hits. First day is full players “setting the market” while bengals tend to sit back. We justify this by saying I can’t believe those guys got paid that much. This board collectively holds its breath until something, anything is done.
Don’t even get me started on mock draft season and draft weekend.
FYI I think both are deserving of those contracts I'm just suprised that the NFL sees it that way.
With the recent cap spike teams are keeping their very good/slightly great players more often now than before. Which is why it makes sense to keep Tee because you are not going to get equal value for him in free agency.
