MrCincinnati Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Its a 3 year extension, worth 38.68 Million http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/09/07/vontaze-burfict-signs-three-year-extension-with-bengals/ All I can say is, its a typical Bengals move.

theJ Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Not as discounted as I would have thought. Still, he's a helluva player if the league would just leave him alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVillain112 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 $13m per year is fine with me. He's a beast. Also the salary cap is going up, we can afford to spend a little more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCincinnati Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Only thing that's going to make me REALLY hate this move is if they let Tyler Eifert get away. I consider him a more important piece to this team over Burfict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ochocinco4pres Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 absolutely agree burfict is more important. A bit high for what I would have thought, but we can't afford to lose him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVillain112 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/09/07/the-full-vontaze-burfict-contract-details/ 1. $3.3 million signing bonus. 2. 2017 base salary of $7.936 million. 3. 2018 roster bonus of $2 million, due March 31, 2018. 4. 2018 base salary of $3.81 million. 5. 2019 base salary of $5 million. 6. 2020 base salary of $6.188 million. 7. Annual per-game roster bonuses $2.25 million in 2018, 2019, 2020. 8. Offseason workout bonuses of $500,000 for 2018, 2019, 2020. 9. He also has escalators based on Pro Bowl appearances of $250,000 per year, which doubles for two and triples for three, which can (with three Pro Bowl appearances from 2017 through 2019) add another $1.5 million. Here are the highlights of the deal: 1. The only guarantee is the signing bonus. 2. The $2.25 million per year in per-game roster bonuses in 2018 through 2020 ties a whopping $132,352 to his ability to suit up each and every week. For any absence from the active roster (suspension or injury), the $132,352 disappears. 3. The increase in Burfict’s base salary from $3.95 million to $7.936 million inflates his game checks from $232,352 to $466,823. Which, in turn, bumps the price of his three-game suspension from $697,056 to $1.4 million. So while the initial reports look good, the structure and specifics don’t. The Bengals will be able to cut ties with Burfict after any year of the deal, with minimal financial consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's much more than a luxury. he's a vital; piece to the offense. Just not as vital to the offense as Burfict is to the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Re: Eifert vs. Burfict: Eifert has been huge converting drives to touchdowns. Burfict makes that defense probably 20-30% more effective. But the big difference is that Eifert is hurt half of every season. Burfict has had one injury and a few suspensions. I'd put my money on him playing more games going forward. Back injuries are no joke. They significantly shorten careers. Therefore, i pick Burfict too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I like the structure of the deal. If he makes a bonehead move (granted this suspension is complete BS) then he loses lots of cash, and if he makes too many bonehead moves, he's easy to cut. If he plays every game and dominates like he can, then he'll earn every penny of that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I say this is because when Eifert is on the field, dalton plays his best. He looks so much more comfortable when he has eifert to rely on.

Tyler Eifert is a nice weapon, but he is not the center point of the offense. He is also as injury-prone as Taze is Suspension-Prone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVillain112 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Lack of leadership, urgency and aggression all showed on Sunday. Another reason we need Burfict back. Not the cure all for our problems but definitely helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
