I do think the Bengals will probably extend Dalton again with 1-2 years left on his current deal, but I don't think they'll extend him with 3 years left like they did with Palmer.
Oh yeah, if he keeps getting better, they will give him another extension & raise.
Wonder what that will look like if team wins the SB? (no ninja lol)
