BUT...extending him before he hit free agency would have been the play. Supposedly the Bengals offerred him slightly more than Bolings contract which had to be an insult to Z.

Had they offerred him $8-9 million a year BEFORE DeCastro signed his deal...maybe he accepts it.

Guys like Dunlap signed contracts for less than they would have got on the open market.

That's also how Mike Brown operates. He's more than willing to keep our stars if they're more than willing to take below their market value. If Dunlap would've turned down that contract like Michael Johnson, they both would not have been in stripes the following season.
