Has there been anyone other than Leveon Bell that actually ended up sitting out?

Good to get him signed for this year but in Adam Schefter's post about this it says he'll become an unrestricted free agent after this season. So while he's taking a big risk playing without a long term deal the Bengals are likely going to lose him next year and get nothing in return.

He will 100% sit out at that point.

Okay…. They’re not going to let an asset like that just leave for nothing.

While he's a great player, that 30m should have been used earlier in the offseason to get multiple defenders. They're more than one pass rusher away from even being a passable defense.

Like who? lol. Guys of his caliber are not exactly sitting on the bench doing nothing. I believe the Bengals have the money and space, it was a matter of the owner not wanting to sign an older guy to a long term deal.

ETA: can they franchise tag him next year? Not likely at his age? But if they get him this year and he is good and then franchise him next year, that’s not the worst plan for both sides really.

he gets a 20% raise in franchise tender if he is tagged for '26, up to $36 mil, but yea it appears there isn't a no tag clause

now, 36 mil for a guy who will be turning 32 in the 2026 season is risky. Bengals FO honestly did pretty well, if he sucks this year they can cut bait and if he's awesome again they can tag him again if they feel they don't need to spread the money around

Let's just do some AFC signings this season. They could have picked up a mix of these guys, including paying LB Germaine Pratt a measly 4 million to bring him back.

CB Jaire Alexander - 1 year, 4m
DL Malik Harrison - 1 year, 10m
CB Darius Slay - 1 year, 10m
EDGE Joey Bosa - 1 year, 12.6m
DL Larry Ogunjobi - 1 year, 8.3m
CB Tre' White - 1 year, 8.6m
EDGE K'Lavon Chaisson - 1 year, 5m
EDGE Derek Barnett - 1 year, 5m
CB Kristian Fulton - 2 years, 20m
LB Germaine Pratt - 1 year, 4.25m
