Terms really make this seem like a one to two year extension, with all of the guaranteed money up front. It also reduces his cap hit this year. I would guess a new deal gets worked again (or restructured) by 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 It's nice to have a player that will never play for another team. You don't see that as often as we used to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Barr contract isn't great tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of average salary, he's currently the 24th highest paid outside LB. Career earnings, he's #8, but he'll get dwarfed over the next couple of years. I can see the argument, especially based on how he's been injured a lot...however, it wasn't an egregious contract. While it hamstrung them to a certain extent as they couldn't resign someone like Xavier Rhodes and couldn't spend a ton in free agency, I can't necessarily say that they would have done any better in the alternative, since it seemed that Xavier had regressed at the time and certainly Trae Waynes has been injured constantly in Cincy too.
