Bears seem to like overpaying former Bengals all of a sudden.

Not really sure I understand what Reiff did last year to earn MORE money this season, but ok.

When Reiff was playing last year, the longest win streak the Bengals had was 2 games.
Their record was 7-5 in games he played.

They had two 3-game winning streaks after he was done for the year.
Their record in games he didn't play was 6-3.

So maybe the secret is not having him on the field

I don't have time to look it up now, but think Reiff made about 11 million with us last year, but is was paid half in 2022 and rest is dead money on cap in 2023

So similar dollar amount we paid in 2022

10 million of 11 must be earned.

Oh trust me, I agree. But he knows the plays.

Per this article from last year on Cincy Jungle, it was a 2-year, $7.5 mill deal.

Quote:To oversimplify it, Reiff is playing for only one year, but his cap hit will be $4.7 million in 2021 and $2.8 million in 2022. Reiff will play for one year, but his cap hit will spread out over two years unless the Bengals extend him before his contract expires.

Chicago over payed Reiff to come out of retirement... had to be the case.

Good for Riley, glad he got on a team and got overpaid lol

He is a good guy, but man does he get banged up every year.

We need to add a Guard more than a Tackle anyways.

Apparently those initial contract details were off. I don’t think he’s making nearly that much.

Hadn't seen that he had signed somewhere. Was holding out hope we could bring him back as vet depth.

Seemed like a major overpay for an older OT coming off of another injury.
