The actual numbers have finally come out.

Looks like the deal is not nearly as bad for the Bengals as it initially looked.

Out of that whole contract, only 17 million is guaranteed.

The contract nevertheless remains, like Kaepernick’s, mostly a year-to-year proposition, with Dalton being guaranteed as a practical matter two years and $25 million.  That’s a lot more than he would have made over the next two seasons if he’d played out his rookie deal and then been slapped with the franchise tag.  Beyond 2015, however, it’s a one-year-at-a-time existence no different than Kaepernick’s.


I could live with this as a Bengal fan

That's why I laugh when people go full idiot when these contract announcements are made. NFL contracts are the antithesis of NBA and MLB contracts because they're essentially year-to-year contracts with shady numbers games, "bonuses," and guarantees tied to performance.

Everyone went crazy when the Eagles gave Mike Vick his $100 million deal, and he "only" saw probably a third of it.
