With the rookie wage scale it is not a surprise that there was no fussing, but it is still always nice to be able to cross this technicality off the list. Its 4 years + the standard 5th year option.
The signing leaves only Sam Hubbard and Malik Jefferson left to sign which should happen any day now.

Awesome, finally have our stud Center and for multiple years. 
I really like the rookie wage scale, one change that i liked while Goodell has been around.
Couldn't stand it when first round picks would hold out right up the the start of the season.

Yep, glad we don't have another Andre Smith scenario where it seemed like forever before he signed.

According to what I was reading, Hubbard and Jefferson are the only draft picks yet to sign.

Nice only 2 to Go both the 3rd rounders... even for a while with the CBA rookie agreement the bengals waited till later... Getting them done early is a nice thing.

Yes sir. Shouldn't be long till we have both of them on board as well.
Hubbard so far has been impressive from what i see and hear. Happy we started drafting Buckeyes.
For some reason we seemed to avoid them in the past which i don't understand.
They have put out some very good to great NFL players recently.

Yep, more indications that Mikey boy Brown's role has diminished significantly.

This is another reason I believe Mikey boy Brown has been moved to the sidelines when it comes to front office decision making.
The Bengals have passed on some really good Buckeye players over the past 10 years. Now granted some Buckeyes have been drafted higher than the Bengals picked in the 1st round and the team had no shot at those guys, but team seemed to just ignore some really good players.

Good to hear. I know it means very little but I never want the Bengals to be anywhere near the last team to sign the first rounder.

I did not like we paid our 1st pick as much or more than any player on our team and they had yet to play 1 NFL down
I agree, love the rookie wage scale
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

Like luvnit said, it was so stupid when top picks in the first round were the highest paid players on the team without taking a snap.
I realize that players want the most that they can get, but I don't get why the NFLPA didn't try to get a rookie wage scale earlier because higher rookie salaries means lower salaries for vets.
Anyways, I love that we're keeping Price in-state and I think that he does amazing things in helping us solidify our offensive line.
Also, as an OSU homer, I'm PUMPED to meet him at training camp!

Can you believe his gramps made him cut the grass? CHILD ABUSE! LOL
Only Hobson could make something so benign sound like an epic life lesson only first round picks ever have to endure. I was cutting grass by the time I was old enough to push the mower.. To make things worse his grampa had a JOB! Dontcha just love reading tragic tales of football players family members having ordinary lives and yet written to sound as if everyday stuff is the stuff of legend? Often it is, but only Hobson tries to make it seem extreme..
