Summary

PFF's Brad Spielberger (PFF_Brad) grades Cincinnati Bengals' free agent contract values, and the Bengals got fair-to-good value with most of their new players. Then Jake and James ask him about the future Joe Burrow contract - which could very well be fully guaranteed after a precedent set up north - and how to fit in contracts with Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase as well. We wrap up with a discussion about maximizing the window and whether the Bengals will have to change their cap management approach or contract structure to do so (spoiler: they likely do).

And Brad, welcome to the show, gave you a lot of credit in the free agency period for

0:53.2

getting a lot of these contracts

0:55.1

dead on and after lyell collins was released i remember i dm'd you and i'm like brad is it

1:01.9

possible to do a projection for collins in this situation where he gets cut and everything's kind

1:07.8

of weird you don't have the chance to get a feel for his market at

1:11.2

the combine, et cetera. When you saw the number initially reported at 30 million, now we've

1:22.0

with the Bengals, potentially most impactful signing of the free agency period at 21 million over three years was

1:29.1

very little in the way of guarantees for Lyle Collins. Yeah, well, first off, I do appreciate you

1:33.5

did shout out the PFF contracts a bunch, so that was much appreciated. Yeah, I mean, it's a great deal.

1:39.1

Like you said, we talked about it, even at 3.30, which is what was remaining on his Cowboys

1:43.6

contract. So if they

1:45.1

hypothetically sent a day three pick to get him, they would have inherited a three-year,

1:49.3

$30 million contract. So to be patient, to wait that out, even though probably a couple

1:54.1

teams were in the mix there. And then not only is it three years $21 million, but there's a lot

1:59.0

of that compensation tied to per game roster
