I love the story that the Maxx Crosby extension led to the Bengals putting Trey Hendrickson on the block. The Bengals were like, "Derp derp, I'm sure the EDGE market won't change if we dawdle all summer ... whaaaaaaa?" (With Micah Parson due and Myles Garrett demanding a trade). - ThreadSky

I mean, if the Bengals are going to commit $100m+ to the QB and his top 2 WRs, something has to give.

Somehow, other teams manage to have well-paid four superstars.

Just pigeonhole principle though, there are currently 58 players who command >10% of the cap allocation, from Joe Burrow at the top to Daron Payne at the bottom so there can't be many teams with 3 guys at that level.

Officially unofficial team policy of not extending over 30s for more than a year doing the work here, even probowlers apparently

The extended him two years ago for that reason. He is still under contract this coming season.

He is unhappy with extension because he balled out and outperformed it. Blame his agent.

Any team would take that extension he signed.

The Jerry Jones of it all confuses me so much. It has been proven, over and over, that resigning/extending someone early is uniformly the best possible option if you want to keep him. Or announcing he's available as soon as possible. This is the kind of derpy middle of the road response I don't get.

Jerry is determined to get the worst possible value for every player
