I'm sure the media is stroking themselves raw right now.

From me and Adam Caplan:
Cincinnati and Bengals QB Andy Dalton reached agreement on a 6-year, $115 million contract, per two sources.

...did they have to do that now?
e: nvm, didn't know it was his contract year

Wait...what? They pay game managers that kind of money? Every other skill position on the field should feel disrespected. He isn't worth half that, and I don't think I'm being hyperbolic. PEACE.

Contract details should be interesting.
I'm not sure if he's necessarily worth more per year than Cutler (who has a bloated contract as is) but I imagine it's back end loaded with nothing guaranteed past the first three years anyway.

Dalton's contract
I would be upset too if I was a fan of a team that paid a mediocre QB that much money.
Can't believe McNabb set my organization back like that.
Those types of plays won Eli two super bowls!

This is why stuff like Dalton's extension and Smith's almost-definite extension now will always be funny. The one contract that everybody made fun of, but the one contract that was sane (everybody else, those teams don't make the playoffs without; Flacco, the team doesn't win the Super Bowl or half those playoff games without)
This works both ways though. If you don't know the details you can't play it down either. You're just assuming!
Ground can't cause a fumble! Misleading GIF.
The Flacco deal only looks good if Dalton gets close to that $53m guaranteed. That was the ludicrous part of the deal, not the fictitious total dollar amount.

Fucking hell, we're gonna have to pay 7 years, 200 million to keep Mallett now.
worth it!
I get what you are saying, but the price/year is important too because paying that much for average play hurts the team that year. Dead guaranteed money is obviously worse, but a contract can still hurt the team if the guy is on the team.
^ lol no. The average has nothing to do with his impact on team finances, only the cap number does.
Yeah, Mike Brown has totally been known to just throw money around. It's always smart to assume he pulled a Schneider what with his free wheeling ways.

You mean Anquan Boldin. Flacco owes his big contract to Boldin. Dalton owes his to his receivers too. I feel a lot of these qbs are benefiting from the Aaron Rodgers and Peyton's of the world. The elite qbs are worth a king's ransom. Dalton, Flacco and others aren't even the best skill players on their teams, so don't deserve the biggest contracts. Flacco and Dalton are stealing money. Is Alex Smith going to make serious bank now? PEACE.
Dutch you ignorant slut. Mallett is for sure going to give you guys a hometown discount
7 years/195 million
Book it.
It's smart to wait for the actual numbers instead of decrying people for reacting when you're doing the same exact thing.

Will be running in the streets #shirtless when that happens!
I'm not assuming anything, have said repeatedly if they gave him a ton of guaranteed money it was stupid. I am shitting on people for refusing to recognize that NFL total dollar amounts are completely meaningless.
Laughing at the Bengals right now is dumb. Laughing at the people laughing at the Bengals is great!

Agreed.
he knows how important he is to this team, he'll demand a hometown premium
7 years/205 million

So used to not finishing first in the division that you just don't care anymore
Like Eznark said, I'm sure this will be more team-friendly than the initial estimates suggest. Ultimately, the Bengals had no choice. They have a stacked team and can't afford to start over again with a rookie quarterback. They're not about to let Dalton walk after this season and hand the reins to AJ McCarron. You've gotta pay the QB.

Another thing to point out is that the Bengals aren't stupid and know that AJ Green has to get paid too. There's literally zero chance that they made this deal without accounting for Green's contract.

Is it okay to laugh at the Bengals in your opinion for extending a person 6 years for getting no playoff wins, like everybody else in their franchise for the last 23 years
Because I am doing that, and so are others, and that's not dumb
