The Cincinnati Bengals used void years for Joe Flacko's contract,

and that could mean they're setting up for some post-draft veteran additions.

Let's get into it.

You are Locked-on Bengals, your daily Cincinnati Bengals podcast,

part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team

every day.

What up Bengals fans and welcome to another episode of the Lockdown Bengals podcast.

He's James Rapine.

I'm Jake Liscoe and we are your host of Lockdown Bengals.

Today we're going to discuss what's going on in Arizona at the owners meetings where Zach Taylor is expected to talk tomorrow as we're recording this on

Monday evening. He'll be speaking on Tuesday. We won't hear from the ownership group. That's

typically Katie Blackburn at the owners meetings in Arizona. And we'll be discussing that later in the show.

But we're going to start with this structure the Bengals used for Joe Flacko's one-year contract,

actually implementing void years for a one-year deal, very similar to what they did with Riley

Reef when they signed him to a one-year deal a few years ago.

This is multiple contracts now active for the Bengals with Void Years going along with Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow and obviously very different styles of contracts here.

Some of the top of their position for multiple years for players that are all pro-level

players and one for Joe Flacco, which is why I

compared it to the Riley Reef deal from a few years ago. A lot of similarities there, but we need

to discuss, I think, the structure itself, how exactly it impacts the Bengals cap situation and what

it could mean for the Bengals' offseason plans, potentially after the draft.

And there are two void years here, James.
