They've never been afraid to shell out for their own, even when they get expensive. On top of that, Bengal money is real money. A player gets a deal here and he's very likely to finish it in it's entirety. Got to be considered when a player goes on the market. A big contract elsewhere means little when you're only going to get the first few years of it.
He didn't get $7m a year, he just got $7m this year. $4m next year, $3.7m the year after.
Also, bringing up overpaying Rey Maualuga might be helpful to argue for the Bengals possibly overpaying for Iloka, but it doesn't make me feel better about the prospect of overpaying Iloka. Lol
