Just announced on NFL Network.

Always up to date with things when Fred "working from home".

[samhain]

Any word on the numbers yet?

[Atomic Orange]

WHaaaaaT. I am totally shocked but happy about this.

[*Wyche'sWarrior*]

Solid....now, on to Nelson and Jones, and this FA would be a pretty good success. You had to know Jones would be gone, don't need Smith, Hall, or Sanu, really.

[CageTheBengal]

Great move.

Bengals do re-sign there own. They just aren't going to be fools and overpay our #3 receiver.

[BritishBengal]

Awesome.

[RoyleRedlegs]

Deal worth reported 6m per year.
steal.

[zygrot24]

Thank the football gods. Let's see these numbers. Glad george is coming back. 6'4 safeties don't really go on trees. Enjoy your money george, you've earned it

Surprised if true. I thought he'd go for $8ish.

[Mike M (the other one)]

Link?
I can't find anything that says its a done deal, only that they are closing in on a deal with him.

What?  I can't believe it.  He would have gotten a lot more than that.

George Iloka's new deal with #Bengals will make him a top-10 safety in terms of average per year, per source. Roughly $6M per.

[bengals67]

I think resigning Ioka and Pacman is way more important than over paying for Marvin Jones

You do not pay number 1 money to someone whose success can be attributed to playing with AJ Green and thus drawing a lot of single coverage.

I would also like to see them get Reggie back if possible.

[J24]

He really wanted to stay.

[Hammerstripes]

That's a steal at $6 million (if that's the case)

[Mike M (the other one)]

That doesn't say done deal though.

I've seen that he's getting in the ball park of 6 mil, but nothing still saying that it's signed sealed and delivered.

[Stormborn]

5 years 30 million

Oh yeah.
