TheVillain112 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I'm ok with it because I love Gio as a player and person, but not sure why we drafted 2 RBs and then are paying Gio. Assuming if Rodney Anderson didn't get hurt, this extension probably doesn't happen... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas5737 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 You can always trade him to the Texans for a 3rd if you change your mind. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened really quick though. Makes me think it was in the works already. I don't really get it. But i guess it's peanuts compared to what some other RB's are getting. And he's a good player, so i'm fine with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very curious to see how Week 1 against the Seahawks goes. Mixon commented that the Bengals Offense has a lot of similarities to Lincoln Riley's O. So I'm expecting a lot of motions, play action, bunch formations, mis-direction, etc... I'm good with the strategy of having Mixon, and Gio heavily involved. Our OL sucks, and our QB is Dalton so Zac Taylor and his staff are trying to make the most of what they can... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I actually forgot he was still in the league...and he's still with the Bengals...and I'm a Browns fan...in Southwest Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I did hear that the new coaching staff liked what they saw from Gio during the offseason but this is still a weird extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the 10th highest paid player at his position in terms of average salary per year. It appears to be very minimal guaranteed money, and it's a short contract. He's making Davante Parker money. The money just isn't relevant in terms of the teams total cap. People are just wowed because he's a RB and no one is paying them right now.

Tugboat Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Weird how he's kinda just ducked under the radar lately. When he first showed up, seemed like the hype was that he was eventually gonna be the next big thing there...but it also seems like since Benson basically, the Bengals always have a tandem with a volume carries "hammer" paired with Gio. He's a pretty excellent guy to have around as that 3rd down back though. Just kinda funny how he just sorta settled into that role as the second part of a quasi-tandem arrangement as the change of pace/3rd down/big play back. Never really took that "next step", and faded into relative obscurity in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
