His production over the last three years is up there. He is a consistent performer. I think this year, with Geno playing as he is, Willis, Lawson, Hubbard, and Billings all stepping up around him, he will have one of his best statistical seasons ever.
This also shows the younger guys on the team that if you do your job and are a consistent performer, the team will take care of you.
These signings (sorry if someone has already mentioned...haven't read all the responses yet) also are designed to pay heavy up front this year, so it will give the Bengals an easier time of re-signing AJ Green next year. Excellent job, Bengals.
