I’m not against the move, but there are still things not to like.
1) He’ll take a roster spot until he ends up hurt again, meaning our replacement will be a guy from the PS or sitting on the couch at the start of the year.
2) They may feel the need to carry an extra TE since he’s not reliably healthy, which would mean going light somewhere else.
3) I really don’t understand why fans care about incentives. The Bengals will still need to plan for an $8 mil cap hit so it doesn’t change anything from our perspective. It’ll still prevent them from signing other FA’s this offseason (ok that wasn’t going to happen anyway lol). If he doesn’t reach his max incentives that only helps mike brown and maybe the black hole he likes to call the “rollover”
I’m still glad he’s back and think it’s a good risk, but there are negatives to consider
