This was McPherson's contract year, so this new contract should put him under contract through 2027.
Happy to know the K situation is covered for the next 4 years.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Nice to have him locked in.

He is an important piece, I know so are Higgins and Chase, but we forget we need 53 quality players, no one player wins a Super Bowl as the Chiefs proved when the arguably traded away the top WR in production Tyrek Hill.
It appears they are loading the deal upfront. They may assign the 2024 additional 10 million as a bonus that they can spread over 4 years, so and additional 2.5 million of cap space in 2024 leaving us with over 17 million in 2024.
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.

I'm glad they're using the upfront money to have more to use later on other extensions. That's a fair extensions too, given the other kicker deals I assumed they'd have to start at 6M/yr.

Good to have him signed for a few more years. 59/59 on kicks inside of 50 last year is just real comforting.
21-28 at 50+ in his career, and 3 of the 7 misses were >55 yards.

Comforting knowing $$$-Mac is back longer, and hopefully he has a very lengthy career until the day he retires a Bengal.

But there's much more pie available since Randy Bullock is no longer here

Agreed. It's nice to see the deal get done so we don't have to discuss it like the Chase situation.
