One year of great play set him up for life, but more importantly, set me up for life to be happy as an LSU fan.

To think jamarcus got like 65 million up front lol.So glad these rookie caps are in now. One bad top pick really put a team in a bind. Don't think Bengals will have to worry about this guy.

The guy took natural ability and paired in with solid work ethic. He splashed in a healthy dose of leadership to top it off. The Bengals saw the value. His parents deserve so much credit for raising this man. Well deserved

So the way it's written: Is it 36M PLUS the 23M signing bonus or is the 23M bonus part of the 36M? It's truly an honest question, I don't know.

So does he get 36M over 4-5 years PLUS a 23M bonus? Meaning 59M total once its all done? If he is getting 23M upfront and then the rest of the 36 over 4-5 years, that means he'd be making about 3.2M a year as opposed to about 8M a year.

Cincy should have saved their money and gotten a QB later in the draft to ruin
