I think the real crux of the contract will be the guaranteed money. Even CMC and Derrick Henry came in less than Le'Veon and David Johnson in terms of guaranteed money, I believe, and both of those recent deals have team-friendly "outs" after a couple years.
The Bengals, in the past anyways, have held up to contracts that many teams would have released the player. I bet the contract comes in the 4 year- $40 million range and places him roughly 6th in the RB contracts categories. I think it would be prudent to pay him now as he could possibly get a lot more if he becomes a big threat in the passing game.
At least now the Bengals have some semblance as to the cap for next year.
