I expect the coaching changes to give Dalton a new lease on his Bengals life

Everything I read shows Andy making $16.2 Mil next year and Derek making $20.0 Mil. Andy jumps up to $17.7 Mil in 2021 while Derek drops to $19 mil

Admittedly I'm no math major; but I don't see how that's $11 mil/year more.  

5 years for 125 million was the contract I looked at with a simple google search.  That equates to 25 mil a year.....Dalton gets around 16, so I was wrong on his salary.  Looks like a 9 million a year difference.

Also, Dalton was due 13.9 this season with a chance at 3 mil more if he hit escalators, which I assume he did not hit.  So we're back to 11 mil.
