Yep especially with the Aaron Darnold $20 mil/yr talk. Good job FO, glad we got these done!

If mike brown so cheap how do we keep having some of the highest paid players in the league at their position

[MonkeyKing]

This makes this monkey very happy! I have been waiting to hear this.

I'm especially happy for Dunlap who took an extremely team friendly deal the first go round. Much like Dalton he's been underpaid for awhile (market value).

You are right, he is the best. No one does what he does, no one. Great to have him here for four more years.

Hopefully it is four Lombardis in that span.

He looks better than ever and with Billings next to him both these guys should have their best years along with the
rest of the D-line. Stop the run and get after the passer and feast.

Billings is looking great and it has me pumped for what it can do for Geno and our ends!!!!!!!!!

With those two paid, I feel confident that they'll come out more motivated and just in better spirits to dominate because, without that in the back of their minds (even if it's just subconsciously), they'll just play their minds out to help this team win because that's all that matters now!

I agree. Have had both for very cheap for what they bring to the table.

[corpjet]

one has to love both of these moves!

[MonkeyKing]

Heck yeah! Both Atkins and Dunlap locked up. This is a great day!

Read this "Atkins deal gives him the highest yearly average signed by a 30-year-old (or older) non-quarterback in NFL history"

Good for Geno.

He's also 3 years younger.

Yep, out of the way now and they can just focus on football. Great job by the FO.

There were some that were saying we would only sign one of these guys and if that was the case i new Geno
would have to be the choice. To get them both signed is just fantastic right before the season. Looking for a big
year this year after this. I know we have some questions on the right side of the O-line but there are ways to
work around that. Our Defense will be much fresher this year with our Offense actually being able to move the
ball. Indy better look out come opening day, these dudes will be coming for Luck.

Now lets see these guys go to work. Very happy day for us.

[The Caped Crusader]

This is great news.

see guys all you naysayers where they at

I am liking this new approach we are seeing of trying to address things sooner rather than later.

Add this to axing Piano Man, bringing in an actual Offensive Line guru, the aggressive trading to turn our first round pick into BOTH a blue chip Center AND an upper tier Left Tackle, signing a MIKE who is in his prime, actually going for a center fielder safety early, cutting Iloka and LaFell - the list just goes on.

This whole offseason has felt really "un Bengal".

When you put it all together like that... it really feels different

I'm still in shock and I'm waiting for the haters!  Hopefully, with these guys out of the way, we can work on improving the right side of the line!

I'd look for those via our first loss of the season. I'm sure significant doubt will reign supreme then.

[SunsetBengal]

After a long, and uncharacteristically shitty day at work, this is fantastic news!

[GreenCornBengal]

Has potential to be the best offseason ever during my lifetime as a Bengals fan.

There are a few guys on this team that can earn big paydays elsewhere if this team did something crazy like win the superbowl.

Dennard is one of those fringe guys that could make big bucks depending how the season goes.
