Twice a year is pretty much it. A big name older guy is general a good start when you want to think of free agent flops. 

And he opted out of his big contract because he expects even more. 

A first and second round pick last year , two high paid guards , a high paid left tackle , and one of the Bengals super rare trade up targets entering his 3rd year that plays the same position. 

As far as unrealistic dreams. Mack is up towards the top of that list.

His age isn't really that big of a concern to me, as many of the OL greats have played well into their mid to later 30s.  Any performance issues are likely because he was rushed back into service by a desperate and crummy team.  If the Bengals were to throw down the cash for a player like Mack, I'd like to see the deal be for 4-5 years.
