Let's look ahead. If he misses all of camp, he is looking at 40 days or so equal 40 x 50K or 2 million. Once season starts, he misses game checks. His game check is 15.9 million divided by 17 or 935K per game.
So those thousands quickly turn into millions. His currect deal is not guaranteed. He literally could lose over 11 million if he sits out 10 games.
You are assuming Bengals cave and he signs, I am not sure I would make that bet. There will come a point I think Bengals end negoatiations. If so, he does not get a new deal and Bengals still own his rights to tag him in 2026 and 2027.
You are correct, it is no big deal if Bengals give him a huge new deal, but that may of may not happen.
