Just signed a 1 year, 2 million dollar deal with the Bengals.

As a fan, I'm happy, but we will see how it works out

HA yes!

Now (Even as nowhere near productive as owens once was) Ochocinco's value goes down and I can trade the guy some junk in our keeper league to get him

WR core of Johnson, Moss, and Chad...here I come!

it's ok you won't have to inform them at all.

ESPN will remind them; every single day...on every sportscenter, until T.O. leaves the team

I disagree. TO had no other options. If he screws this up he is finished and his legacy ends up even more tarnished than it already is. There is good leadership from the Head Coach on down. TO is running out of time to be on a winning team and play in the playoffs. His deal is incentive laden and I think he will fit in well this year.

I think you are right. Plus, over the past couple seasons, TO has toned it down a bit hasn't he?

That's actually the only thing I don't like about the deal.

Half his money is tied into personal performance. Structuring his compensation that way could set him up to be barking at Palmer weeks 10-14 for not getting him the ball enough to reach his performance bonuses.

He's still a good player, though not a top 5 or 10 receiver in the league anymore. I think he makes them better and is worth rolling the dice on. It'll be interesting to follow.

Just look at their recievers: T.O., Ocho, Antonio Bryant, Jordan Shipley and Jermaine Grisham. Couple that with the same strong run game & solid defense they had last year and they are contenders to go all the way.

I believe the incentives in terms of catches and yards are very similar to the numbers he put up last year with Buffalo. If Carson is back to playing like we all know he is capable of those number will be no problem for him.

there are some incentives built in that he has no realistic chance of reaching.

He has the possibility of making up to 6mil. But realistically, he'll prob make around $3.5

Anyone actually see what the incentives are in the contract? Curious as to what he actually has to acheive.

Theyre individual performance based.

So many yrds, 1/3 of a mil.
So many catches, 1/3 of a mil.
So many TD's, 1/3 of a mil.

Its all on him. None on "total team success" as was Mike Greenberg's argument this morning.

It breeds egocentrisim, which is in abundance already in that town.

I would assume that's true in about every contract signed.

not sure how his contract was in Buffalo, but the thought is that if he's got money riding on it, he will find others to blame for not reaching some of those incentives. I think he'll be fine, but at least the local radio up here in Ohio voice the same concerns.

They're mostly all unachievable goals.

Not true. Rosenhaus pretty much said the numbers of catches and yards are very similar to the yards he put up in Buffalo with a crap O-line, no running game, and a couple different QB's 98% of the population couldn't name without looking them up.

I mean that Rosend-bag is paid to tell the media how great his client is and how achievable the incentives are for him, all the while ignoring the fact that his client is past his prime and will be playing second fiddle to another diva. Theres not enough football on the planet to satisfy those two guys.
