Quote:Geno Stone Agrees to Pay Cut with BengalsPosted on May 6, 2025 by Jason Fitzgerald
The Bengals and S Geno Stone have agreed on a contract modification that should guarantee Stone’s position with the Bengals this year per a source with knowledge of the contract. Stone, who was scheduled to earn $6.475 million this year, agreed to a one year $4.9 million contract, a reduction in salary of $1.575 million. The Bengals guaranteed $1.5 million of the new contract, which given the Bengals history is a virtual guarantee on his entire year’s salary.
Stone had signed with the Bengals as a free agent in 2024 on a two year $14 million contract. Stone started 17 games for the team last year and had four interceptions but there was some chatter that the Bengals could move on due to overall inconsistent play, changes in the defense, and salary concerns. The new deal ends any of that speculation for the future. Stone will be a free agent in 2026.
All hopes turn to next year
