"Almost everything the Cincinnati Bengals did: Bringing back some familiar veterans is fine, but the numbers behind Cincinnati's moves to re-up struggling tackle Bobby Hart and linebacker Preston Brown were surprising, with both guys signing three-year pacts that could end up paying out more than $20 million. Other moves, like signing guard John Miller (three years, $16.5 million) and cornerback B.W. Webb (three years, worth up to $13 million), made bargain shopping look expensive."
So we're not the only ones recognizing we're paying a lot to these guys. That said, we've also been said to be a low destination, so we probably do have to pay more to get people.
Players want a premium to come to or stay with the Bengals.
Dennard will stay for $10M per, but I'll bet he signs elsewhere for less.
