Pros is the player knows he'll get every penny of that contract. Cons would be we could hang onto the player for a year or two to long, while production doesn't quite match pay.
Yes - On the cons you have players not producing. But you also have a lot of free agents who won't come because they want the other type of contract. That's kind of a double-whammy.
Maybe it's why they wait in free agency until players are signed as the ones unsigned are more willing to accept the Bengals way of doing contracts.
