Now with that said, the Bengals historically front-load, so it is very possible they load 10 of it into this year to make the last 4 years much lower. The structure will matter here. If the bulk of the guarantee is done 3 years in it's not the worst thing in the world.
Initial reaction to seeing 4 yrs $48 mil was big overpay. You’re right, depending how they structure it will determine how bad/decent of a deal it is. I’ll wait until I see the final numbers before going off the deep end. Thought he was worth $8-9 mil/yr and we could be close to that around $10 mil which isn’t the end of the world. Still a little surprised to see them go that high during this year with next years cap in question
