OFFICIAL NFL THREAD 2024-25: It's Time...

I’m all for every athlete to get his, but when you have two years left on a rookie deal, I’m gonna have to tell you to go suck a D.

No man.
But the owners negotiated rookies being eligible for extensions after their 3rd year in the CBA. So they can’t be mad at guys wanting an extension as soon as possible when they’ve proven their worth.

Bengals need to be careful. When you start exercising fifth year options and play the franchise tag game the team loses a lot of financial flexibility with the cap because it’s all considered base salary for that year. Get a deal done now so you can at least restructure it in future years for cap relief and extend the SB window.
