I think it's intentionally front loaded for their two year window before Chase is due. [Reply]

Bengals tendency has always been to front-load contracts. They don't typically structure for redo's and rarely do voidables. They usually offer a contract that they expect to play out to it's conclusion the way it's written. [Reply]

Their LT is a brokedick that has been on IR twice in 4 years and has had 2 knee injuries in between. He’s literally always hurt.
They just got Orlando for a more than fair price. He’s not even a top 10 highest paid tackle in overall money or APY.
Say what you want but that’s a big bargain for them. Their front office has been very good at finding these types of deals [Reply]

Exactly. Cinn has to feel really good about that deal. KC just needs to stick to their plan. [Reply]
Looks like Schefter was right. The league saw him as a RT. Bears were rumored to be very interested after they lost out on Taylor and Mcglinchey, but only at RT apparently [Reply]
