Anyone on here with knowledge of insurance policies for players this old?  I know for young players it's common, wouldn't imagine it's as easy to get anything worthwhile towards the end of a career. 

$14M bump this year, which is really "only" a $9M bump when you factor the DE franchise tag is $21M.  But even at $30M for this year, he's F'd if he gets seriously hurt this season. 

He would've been better off not playing this year, signing with someone next year for what would've easily been $60 to $80 million guaranteed over 2 or 3 years.  He would lose the $16M this year and his guaranteed net would still be $30-$50 million more across the life of the new contract. 

Hope he stays healthy. 

Buddy, after this season his career earnings will be almost $100 million. I think he's gonna be fine.

I always think back to Lance Briggs when I see these stories. 

Feels like every year there's a new saga where it's become too personal, they're too far apart, it's over, etc. And then at the last minute, a miracle happens. 

It's why I don't pay much attention to those kinds of things.

Yep, it's all just part of the negotiation.

Definitely think the Bengals owner won the battle, unless there was some kind of "you can't franchise tag me next year clause". Gotta expect the Bengals are going to franchise him next year (if Trey stays healthy) for $36 mill.

I haven't looked into the contract, but if his entire contract this year is guaranteed, I wonder if he could make up injuries like (my hammy doesn't feel great) and manage to miss out on a few games. If I were him, I would be smart and make sure I avoid getting injured; otherwise he is gonna lose out on a ton of money for his next contract.

I am not sure I would call $66 mil in a 2 year span, probably all guaranteed(depends on 2025), that much of a loss. 

The truth is, he might or might not have gotten that on the open market. It's hard to say. That is basically(assuming $66 mil) the 6th highest pass rusher AAV.

If he stays healthy both seasons and still plays at a high level, it's a moot point and will end up working well for Trey.

If he has a serious injury this year, he's screwed. He won't get a franchise tag and he will get a small 1 year deal after he recovers

Yeah, he does have the option to hold out but he is betting on himself. Ultimately, yes he could lose a massive sum of money....but he has also MADE a massive sum of money, even by NFL standards.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      He didn't actually make the playoffs. We had several opportunities to clinch on our own and crapped the bed. We had to wait for Atlanta to win to get us in. We had the tie breaker in a poo division that had 3 teams finish 8-9.  If you go back and look at the games we played, we weren't a dominant offensive team under him as an OC. We beat the Jets 13-7 and barely beat the packers after they failed to convert multiple red zone trips. We relied heavily on converting 4th downs. DC was also extremely slow at recognizing trends in game and was really lacking with clock management.  Was there progress this year? Yes. But most of it was on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was stagnant with a couple of exceptions. Any improvement from Bryce was minimal and he kept insisting on XL over Coker, and even RB distribution instead of going with the hot hand.  He may be building something, but I don't think we've seen enough to know what that is. It could go either direction. If he insists on being OC, then without a noticeable improvement, yes he needs to be on the hot seat like any OC would. The more jobs you take on the more you have to be judged on. I think he would have a longer leash if he hired a true OC and just focused in being HC.

      zero percent suprised Luke is a nice guy irl, have never heard anything differently from anyone that's met him.  I have heard mixed reports on Smitty I know one guy on here got to know Deangelo Williams and J stew pretty well back in the day when they used to host events and he said they were nice iirc  I can't imagine Jordan gross is a bad hang, he's hilarious
