I'm sorry to inform you, Bengals Organization, but you have cancer.

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.

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