Trey Hendrickson contract dispute...so simple solution

Signing bonus today: $55 million
This year salary: 5 million
Next year salary: 5 million Guaranteed as roster
$5 million as salary
bonus on March 1st to split the salary cap hit
Third year not guaranteed: 37.5 million

That's 3 years with essentially 70 million Guaranteed in the first two years

Total contract value 107.5 million. Averages 36.5 million a year.
Cap hit first year is essentially 21 million. Leaves the Bengals money to get a guard and handle injuries. You could make it more cap friendly by making bonus $53 million and $2 million this year.

Pretty simple.

No one got guaranteed money beyond age 31. Not even Watt.
