The Bengals rewarding top talent isn’t as rare as you may think

Fantastic news everyone.

Did you hear?

Cincinnati signed defensive tackle Geno Atkins (61.0) and defensive end Carlos Dunlap (64.5) to extensions as both players look to assault Eddie Edwards’ unofficial sack record of 83.5. (Sacks didn’t become an official statistic until 1982 so we have to point out it’s unofficial.)

Atkins reportedly signed a four-year extension worth $65.3 million with $25.5 million earned in the first year and $37.5 million by year two of the deal. Dunlap will earn $45 million on his three-year extension.

That’s $110.
