I'm relatively certain any issue here is the guaranteed money due to the escrow standards required. Bengals would happily pay Ja'Marr what he wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL has what's called the "funding rule" which is supposed to put future guaranteed money in escrow to ensure the player gets it if the franchise goes broke. As you might guess, it's been around a while. It's not actually enforced as we found out when media inquiries were made about Watson's contract with the Browns. It can also just be avoided via option clauses in the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
