August 21, 201412 yr I read on ESPN it was 7.6 mil this year, he was due to make 576K His deal isn't redone, he got an extension.
August 21, 201412 yr Not sure what to think, one good year and a big contract? Vontaze Burfict and Cincinnati Bengals agree to 4-year deal - Cincy Jungle Burfict has led the Bengals in tackles every year he's been with the team (174 in 2012 and 188 in 2013). Burfict went to the 2014 Pro Bowl after leading the league in tackles. He also led Cincinnati with seven tackles-for-loss while adding three quarterback sacks, an interception, forced fumble and two recoveries with one returned for a touchdown. He was the first Bengals linebacker to reach the all-star game since Jim LeClair in 1976. Yeah. I'd say he's worth it.
August 21, 201412 yr He got a $1,000 signing bonus when he signed as a UFA. That is crazy to think about. I can't imagine how many BGP'ers have themselves received signing bonuses WAY north of that. Good for him, he got someone to take a chance on him coming out of Tempe and has absolutely made the most of it!! I'd love to see him stay healthy, stay hungry, and have the type of career we all think he is capable of.

August 21, 201412 yr Not sure what to think, one good year and a big contract? Maybe so, I thought he was hurt in 2012, must have been someone else. It was someone else because he has been the best player on the defense the last two years. The man didn't even really play much In the first game or two his rookie year and then he had to learn a new position four day before a game when Thomas Howard got hurt and he still went on to lead the team in tackles. So yes he is definitely worth the money.
August 21, 201412 yr Mike Brown and the Bengals have done many wrong things during the majority of Mike Brown's ownership, and I don't know what happened but they have done a great job at putting this team together the last five years.
August 21, 201412 yr Mike Brown and the Bengals have done many wrong things during the majority of Mike Brown's ownership, and I don't know what happened but they have done a great job at putting this team together the last five years. I think Katie Blackburn makes the majority of decisions now , but Mike probably approves these things. I really think this has transitioned a lot to her. Her mindset appears to be much more forward thinking.
August 21, 201412 yr Mike Brown and the Bengals have done many wrong things during the majority of Mike Brown's ownership, and I don't know what happened but they have done a great job at putting this team together the last five years. Coincidentally, the change coincided with the new CBA & the implementation of the pay scale for draft picks. In the past, I think Mike Brown picked guys with baggage so he could have some leverage in negotiations. Now, with the pay scale, you don't need as much leverage...and the Bengals have drafted much better. It almost makes the past struggles even more frustrating.
August 21, 201412 yr He missed practice today due to a stomach bug. Too much celebrating the night before knowing he was going to lock up a big deal. Pumped for the Bengals. They got a great deal. Vontaze needs a new agent haha

Her mindset appears to be much more forward thinking. Duke Tobin deserves the lion-share of the credit, and Troy (Katie's husband) would be the runner-up. Katie has been influential, and signs the checks, but Duke, and Troy to a lesser extent, have been fantastic over the last half decade.
