I have to wonder if this is a FA thing or more of a "monster contract" thing.
I'd take this info with a grain of salt unless you can also come up with how many home grown players finish out monster contracts.
Think about it. We hear every year about teams releasing players to save money or get under the cap, and it's just as likely - if not more so - that those players were drafted rather than signed via FA. That said, the Bengals probably provide a better opportunity to play out your full contract if you sign with them. Just look at Leon Hall. Most other teams would've restructured or released him last year at $9 million.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
