So the fact that they had to tell us that sounds more like telling the fans they tried when in reality its closer to 40M maybe. I can't fault them for not wanting to give Trey a ton of guaranteed money in his twilight but he IS your defense.
So, I'd Burrow is indeed restructuring you have to take him up on what he wants done with the money. He is bigger than the Bengals and you have to keep him happy. If that means paying more than what you want to on Tee or Chase so be it, ger over yourself. Then, if you're making trades and signings to build a defense, I'm not against trading Hendrickson if they're that far apart. That would include though trading a 2nd or 3rd this year though to get a star to replace him. We can't go into the season worried about him retiring or sitting.
They screwed up not getting the deal done before last season. Now they will have to pony up 40 mil per year for Ja'Marr, just pay the man
his guaranteed money. With Trey if we cannot get a deal done I could see him being traded as he has a lot of value currently and this is a
very deep draft for DL and with some more picks we would have a much better shot at hitting on someone. Too bad, as I want Trey here
but this DOES make sense.
Tee we will see on, just glad we tagged the guy so we can get something for him if he does leave or we can work out an incentive laden
extension where he gets paid like the best #2 in the NFL if he stays healthy. So much more money for so many more games played etc.
Or trade Tee, either way Mike G needs to be brought back IMO.
